No matter when or how such a decision or announcement is made, there will always be someone just on the wrong side of the line... It is just not practical to maintain the whole system until the last current account runs out
Which is why when a service is cancelled, prorated refunds are offered. The that there was no mention of any in the announcement indicates that refunds are not currently being considered. Refunds may not be possible if CESmail is bankrupt or assets seized, but do you really think they had no idea if plans to terminate service Saturday afternoon (when they were still accepting payments)?

sigh} not to mention an almost infinite number of other, perhaps more charitable, explanations.
As for "take-the-money-and-run scam" - really? After all these years of super-cheap subscriptions (matching the service with the economy IS proving a bit of a challenge when looking for alternatives, isn't it?)..
Hardly infinite, and none particularly charitable. It's really irrelevant whether Cisco or CESmail initiated the termination.
The "take-the-money" quip was in response to others' speculating whether there would be refunds when they were accepting payments up to the day of the announcement, and made no mention of refunds.
The fact remains that the Cisco "forwarding service" is dangerous unless there is access to the culled spam or the ability to disable filtering.

The exquisitely uninformative wording as well as the Saturday night massacre timing of this announcement suggest that either it was a poorly thought out last minute decision or a take-the-money-and-run scam.

8. I have received the following information from Cisco regarding the forwarding and spam checking: email forwarded by Cisco will be spam checked using the Cisco Reputation system. You cannot opt out of the spam checking. There is no Held mail folder or equivalent.
It remains unclear what happens to the emails trapped by Cisco Reputation system. Are they forwarded in a separate folder? If not, and they are just deleted, that creates a major risk of losing legitimate mail.

Forwarding and FAQ update
in SpamCop Email System & Accounts
Posted · Edited by mshalperin
No, the filtered spam is deleted, not forwarded to your new email address. There will no longer be a "held" folder on spamcop.net.
