#ISP #iinet ditched providing email services.

Handed its customers over to The Messaging Company. #TheMessagingCo.

I, and others according to Reddit, have received a constant stream of scam emails;
From: The Messaging Company

I read these emails have now come to include phishing attempts.

This shit has been, and is, being sent to their own customers through their own email system.

And they're charging ~$20/year more than Proton email.

Now to swap.

The little local ISP has grown & grown over the years into a nasty large POS - & that ain't "point of sale".

I left years ago after being treated very badly by #iiNet's support - but kept my iinet email.

But some dickhead/s - probably a new CEO trying to create an illusion of usefulness decided to throw their email section to the dogs, smh.

Their chosen receiver of their email users is not good - delivery times are often too long for emailed security codes to still be valid. #Perth #ISP
