I’ve been in Boulder for the last couple of days hanging out with the NetIdentity folks and getting better understanding of what makes the business tick.
In the midst of tying up all the loose ends from the deal, a courier showed up from – it was addressed “From Tucows”. I assumed it was some more legal documents that would need to be processed. It turns out that it was a package from Tucows thanking NetIdentity for being a Blogware customer.
Pretty funny.

Now playing: "Everything Zen.mp3" from the album "Sixteen Stone" by Bush.
I am a very unhappy Net Identity customer. I lease david@farrar.com off them as easy to use alias which redirects.
However they have a spam filter on which which has a massively high false positive rate which means many legit emails do not get through.
I've e-mailed them asking if they can remove my account from their spam filter but not even had courtesy of a reply.
The upshot is my david@farrar.com alias I am starting to no longer use because it blocks so much legit e-mail.
Hmm... Should be easy enough to fix. Let me see what I can do.
Great if you can. Basically I lease david@farrar.com off then as a redirect to my dpf@ihug.co.nz back home. Ideally I want them to remove the spam filter they have on the account (there is no user option to opt in or out) as they have a shockingly high false positive rate blocking many legitimate emails sent to that address.
