Harvesting by whom? Subscribers to IBM-MAIN? At the risk of getting flamed here, how tough is it to
- Use a unique e-mail address for this list - Get your e-mail client to sort everything sent to that e-mail address that is NOT from IBM-MAIN into a unique folder - Delete everything in that folder once a month or so Would that not insulate you 100% from SPAM that originated in any way from your address appearing in IBM-MAIN? Now I'm not defending SPAM or defending carelessness, but gee, if I were doing the above, and deleting the contents of one folder once a month were the biggest problem in my life, I would feel very lucky. There are also some pretty good commercial SPAM filters. The e-mail address above is my "main" e-mail address. My ISP uses Postini. I have it set to (AFAIR) its second most permissive setting. I get almost zero SPAM on this account, and almost zero lost e-mails due to "false positives."
