DearWebby is actually Helmut Morscher, the CEO of Webby, inc.
Originally the "Tech Support Pits" were reports of the funniest tech support incidents, but over the years the
column gradually shifted to answering tech support questions put forward by the readers of the Dear
Webby Humor Letter.
This collection of computer and web advice was started partly because readers demanded an archive, and partly
because some questions were asked again and again. Each page has a different day's Tech Support Pits column.
Have FUN!

Tech Support Pits column from Dear Webby's Humor Letter of

Tech Support Pits:
From Amy===
Dear Webby
Almost all of my friends and all my clients claim that they
are not getting my mail. When I send a test mail to myself,
it works OK. What am doing wrong?
Amy
Dear Amy
You are using a yahoo.com email.
Because Yahoo refuses to do anything effective to slow
down the spam coming from there, all the big blacklists
have them blacklisted. Most of the anti-spam programs
USE those blacklists to pre-clean people's mails.
Your mail gets trashed, unread. I only saw your mail
because I was checking mail on the server at that
moment.
As soon as you get a legitimate address, your mail will
get through again. If you don't have a computer at home
and just use the one at school or work, you can use any
decent web mail. Many ISP's offer it to their clients at
no extra charge, and for $2 - $5 to people who are not
dial-up or hosting clients.
We too offer web mail. We have a commercial grade
version of web mail that lets you check your mail with
the same 128 bit encryption that is used in a good
shopping cart, and without any ads or rigamarole.
It's called webby-mail.
You can read about it at https://mail.webby.com

Have FUN
