Why not post from Neil's article, then post your comment, with the proper link to the article?

Spam? Yes, your messages is sorta like that.

The only way to stop spam is to charge to send an email. As long as it remains free to send as much email as you want, there will be spam.

You may want to look for a better spam blocker, I' am down to just a few each day.
My mouse finger is starting to atrophy from lack of deleting exercise .

Spam is sent because, sadly, it works. The best way to stop spam is to cure stupidity. I'm not sure the economy could survive after, though .

We can make the business of spammers unprofitable by, en mass, wasting their time (and, of course, a bit of each of ours). Make it impossible for them to tell the difference between the real dupes responding to their spam, and the reverse-spammers flooding them with faux requests and incomplete orders.

The ONLY reason they are spamming is because they ARE making $$ from it.

I think MailScanner is effective for many organizations.

Require that all advert Email have the word ADVERT or ADV in the subject line. Then offer a monetary reward for turning in a spamer that violates that restriction.

1. Makes it easy to filter (If you cant afford the cycles or bandwidth find something else to do)

2. Lots of people out there with plenty of time on their hands to turn in Spammers.

3. Fine them and confiscate their assets to pay for the rewards and I think Jail Time is in order.

Now I know this does not address Spammers residing in say China but its a good start.

Another idea... don't let them get your email address in the first place. Use something like stingbox.com which lets you use a temporary email address rather than your own when signing up for stuff online. They can't solicit/scam you if they don't have your real email address to begin with!
