DreamHost’s Junk Filtering

Another reason why DreamHost could be called crap:

They block some email based on a non-user-configurable blacklist. The domains americastestkitchencorp.com and dm-4.com are two such domains blocked in this manner. The problem? americastestkitchencorp.com is the company which runs America’s Test Kitchen on PBS, and dm-4.com is used to send travel confirmations for those traveling on Princess Cruises.

If Junk Filtering is turned on, mail from (at least) these two domains will be blocked, regardless of the user’s settings for mail tagging and quarantine. The only way to keep mail from those domains from being blocked is to proactively whitelist them.

That is a stupid way to run things.
