I find that being careful when giving out my email address and using different addresses for different purposes keeps it to a minimum. For example, the address I use for newsgroups and mailing lists is a yahoo address that I change every year; in six years I have only once needed to ditch the address after a shorter time due to spam, four years ago. Websites that require registration with an email address get disposable or spamgourmet addresses. Companies I deal with by email get either a spamgourmet address or an address of the form companyn...@mydomain. Out of 200-300 emails most days, usually spam messages are in single figures. Every couple of years or so, I suddenly start getting lots of spam messages, but this has always stopped just as suddenly after about 1500 messages spread over 7-10 days. It's so infrequent and short-lived that it doesn't become a problem; if it became a problem, turning off the catch-all email forwarding on my two domain names would stop it. -- Best regards MFPA mailto:expires2...@ymail.com The second mouse gets the cheese Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
