Reading AuctionBytes: eBay's Spam Policy Backfires: Follow-Up

Yesterday, we reported that eBay's new anti-spam policy caused some software programs and ISPs to identify legitimate email as Spam. eBay announced last night that it is changing the way its system sends the email messages and that it hopes to have the change implemented within the next few days. A posting on eBay's announcement board finished with the statement: "Overall, we are pleased with the acceptance of the new email system and will continue to improve it based on your feedback."
