Not ideas to spam but ideas to fight spam.
The level of spam is getting out of control. More than 90% of my daily email is spam.
Do you have spam problem? What are you doing to block spam?
I am using GMail which by far works the best for me.
Before using GMail, reading daily email is like going through a pile of junk.
ThunderBird has a good spam filter but I still have to download all the junk - a waste of time and bandwidth.
Some ISP provides spam filter like SpamAssassin and there are many other open source as well as commercial solutions.
I had used SpamAssassin with mixed result. The main issue I have is false-positive, that is, marking an email as spam when it is not. If I block it at the server, I lost the mail. If I download it, it is again a waste of time and bandwidth.
Furthermore, not everyone is interest to undersand let alone configure the whole lot of blacklist, whitelist, training, real-time backhole, and other jargon-loaded mambo-jumbo.
Why GMail is perfect for me?
