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?
Surfing this week. Looking at a lot of server and networking related information because I just got a new VPS to play around.

Everyone has great stories of remarkable service. The most remarkable service I had encountered online just happened today.
The story started a while back when I posted my experience with RawSugar. In that post I mentioned that I could not use “59ideas” as an username.
To be fair, RawSugar is not the only site that do not allow username starting with numbers. So happened that that was what I remembered.
Bill Lazar, RawSugar’s Customer Experience, promptly picked up and commented on the post. Very impressive though I quickly forgotten about it. Until today.
Bill sent me an email via Best Blog on WordPress. (Didn’t think people remember that association.)
Here’s the content of the email. I didn’t get his permission but I figured he wouldn’t mind.
Ken,
Some time ago you had mentioned being disappointed that RawSugar didn’t allow member names beginning with a number. I sent that on to Engineering and we changed the rule so that these names are now allowed. If you log in to your account and go to Account Settings (http://www.rawsugar.com/myaccount/settings) you can change the name to 59ideas. We’ve also added the ability to automatically add your blog content to your directory (using the RSS or ATOM feed), which is another feature you might want to try.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or issues I can help with on RawSugar.
Regards,
Bill Lazar

Isn’t this the type of Remarkable that Seth Godin talks about.
RawSugar to me means Remarkable Service. Sweet.
