8/1 About the spam thing that I tried to get delisted from: 80 spams
of the same format yesterday. Not worth it.
\_ told ya
\_ well, if they're all the same format, it's easy to filter out
anyway, so you didn't really lose anything by trying. Not like you
would've gotten no spam if you hadn't done anything.
\_ 80 extra spams a day? That easily triples my total, which I
have to vet before I can delete en masse. And w/r/t 'same
format' that only means a small disclaimer at the bottom that
explains how I can delist myself, which is harder to filter
on. I'm merely telling people that the old logic still holds
true: never respond to spam.
\_ real solution, get a domain name, get a rotating email account
that looks something like joe2002, joe2003, etc etc. And every
year, email your closest friends that your email is changing.
Change your procmailrc to reply to your old email address
that announces your new email address.
\_ anything but joe2004.
\_ Domains get more spam though for having so many addresses,
and ISPs typical send all to your mailbox. Last month I
got 73,000 messages, of which 300 were real. Whitelists,
blacklists, and confirm routines did the job well. |
