Subject: RE: Tech: Drowning in spam--any recent/new ideas?
Well I use a unique address for websites - and it changes when it gets spammed. The website has a webform but I also change the real address in JavaScript. AND lay a false trail of bum addresses like bilgates@hotmail.com and convincing dead ends (embedded in comment fields so they don't show on the browser) like info@cresby.com either it works or a brain has said "OK you win" and the my pages are not on the list to trawl.
Because I own the domain I have millions of addresses to change into.
But I chose a couple of pretty obviousones like cresby@cresby.com and that was easy to change (spammers will have an unproductive field day on this thread).
My domain host has webmail with spam filters which is a good firstline defence - it has stopped the Thai font ones (which started after my Thai holiday!)
OK spammers - go collecting - williamgates@msn.com microshot@hotmail.co.uk billionsgates@microsoft.com sales@cresby.com giveupyet@cresby.com hahaha@cresby.com
