Why should I have to go through all that? I want one e-mail account, which I use both for my home-based business and personal correspondence. I do have a web-mail for especiallyconfidential messages.
But I don't give out my e-mail to anyone except clients, prospects and friends/family. And yet still, the spammers find me.
And no, I don't use a free e-mail account.
Some prospects may consider your email junk or spam, and make sure spammers learn of your address in retaliation. That is why you need to separate personal and business emails with separate addresses.
You will save yourself alot of agita by not waiting for government action. And government action will only create other, unintended problems and raise the cost of using the internet.
