<p>The past referral program has been broken down into two new plans:</font>

<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a name="3"></a><strong>Southern California Area Code Change!</strong></font>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The area code for many cities will change to 951. If you have to dial to a different area code,
you will have to dial 1+area code+7 digit phone number. In area code calls will still be 7 digits. Any numbers that were local
previously will stay local. Even if you have to dial the full 1+area code+phone number, the call will be a local one. You should
verify this with your telephone provider before making the switch. The final change will be October 30th. Until then, the old style
of dialing will continue to work. When we receive the update, we will post any changes in phone number to the <a href="http://www.iinet.com/dialup/index.php" target="_blank">dialup number
list on the website</a>.</font>

<P><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a name="6"></a><strong>Anti-Spam Program!</strong></font>
<P><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The Spam epidemic isn't just affecting Email users. The people who
provide those services are being hit on the bottom line. Infinity Internet
is registered on the Washington state Anti-spam Registry. This is a
system very similar to the one planned under the new Federal Anti-spam
Law. The registry relies upon spammers to stop sending to the people
on it. But, the registry does not automatically block the spammers.
<P> This does not mean you are helpless. In fact, there are several layers
of defense Infinity Internet uses. The first one, is filtering 90% of
the mail before you ever see it. The trouble is, the remaining 10% can
be overwhelming. So, the second line of defense comes from SpamAssassin.
After logging in to <a href="https://support.iinet.com/" target="_blank">My Account</a>,
click on Email Tools then select Email Filtering from the drop down menu.
<P>SpamAssassin is pretty effective. It resides on Infinity Internet's server, so there is
nothing to download. You set the screening threshold level to "low," "medium," or
"aggressive." Then you decide whether you want SpamAssassin to mark the email as spam
in the subject line, or simply delete it before you even see it. For advanced users,
you can even tell SpamAssassin to screen by keywords.
<P> There is also free anti-spam software out there to download on to
your computer. <a href="http://www.mailwasher.net" target="_blank">Mailwasher</a> is
one of them.
<P> So to summarize, your Spam Defense is:
</font><ul type="square">
<li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Behind the Scenes - Infinity Internet filters out 90% of the spam
before you ever see it.</font></li>
<li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Infinity Internet's "My Account" - 'Email Tools' - 'Email Filtering' - <a href="https://support.iinet.com/" target="_blank">SpamAssassin</a>.</font></li>
<li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Downloadable Tools - <a href="http://www.mailwasher.net" target="_blank">Mailwasher</a>!</font></li>
<li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Extra Email Account - Have an account for online shopping etc.
and a personal account. If you use the first account for anything you submit online, then a majority of your Spam should end up there.
Doing that will free up your personal account.</font></li>
<li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Treat your email account as your own mailing address. Hand it out
only to those you know.</font></li>
