Verizon Spam Detector: BAD DECISION!!

One of the biggest mistakes I've made is to turn on Verizon's Spam Detector on Little Girl's email address.  It has only served to inundate her account with vile p*rnogr*phic spam.  

I think I'll just delete the account completely and have the girls email to the family through my account.

Hint to any Verizon DSL users: the Spam Detector is so God-awful that it actually makes a problem with Spam where it might not exist otherwise.  The accounts we have NOT turned it on for are not bothered much at all by it, but the accounts we've used it for are getting all kinds of disgusting stuff.  And I complained about it, but no answer at all from their "support".  When I read about how the Spam Detector setting works, Verizon admits that when something is bounced, they tell the sender that it happened, just in case it wasn't supposed to be bounced.  Hello, isn't that MY job?  Result: Little Girl's email is not safe for her to open any more because of the p*rn that keeps on coming in.  I'm not talking Viagra ads, either, here.  I'm talking about Larry Flint-style emails.  Seriously.  And it's not like her email is all over the place, either.

Our two children have verizon e-mail accounts. My daughter gets no spam. At all. My son gets inundated with it. I'm pretty sure they are set the same. I'm thinking about setting up a gmail account for my son. Luckily he doesn't check his e-mail often. When he does - I go on first - empty the trash (without even looking at it) and then delete any other spam that might be there.

Who are your heros?
