i agree with you on this.  i did not know about the 2,000 message 
limitation.  i do know that i have a 50gb mail box for each account i 
have.  to my understanding, the anti-spam device marks your "suspicious" 
mail as spam and sends it on to your mail box.  depending on your mail 
client, you can mark it as "junk" to be deleted.  that has been my 
experience with the anti-spam device.

how long ago did you have your account with them;  they could have 
gotten better?

cheers,
