Finally, winning battles against spam (email)

beneteau
Was getting many spam emails a day so "enough is enough".

I started accessing my account on my ISP and started setting spam filters on my server. Many are being stopped/discarded now on the server so they never download to my email client (Thunderbird) when I open it.

I check the server a few times a day and, sometimes see a new culprit which I send to the spam folder then setup a new filter for him.

What a difference it has made.

    Unlike most, I run my own mail servers (primary and backup, service 20 domains and ~50 accounts). One thing I do with my personal accounts is use extended addressing, so every entity I do business with has a unique email to send to, but they all get delivered to one account. When I start getting spam, I know who is responsible. And act accordingly.

    FWIW Midway is bad about honoring the unsubscribe request from their sales ads. So I simply redirect mail destined for me-midway@mydomain to Larry Potterfield's publicly listed address.

    If you use GMail, they support extended addressing too - use your regular username/address, but put a "+" followed by some tag - business name, etc - before the @ when you give out an email address. you+GunBrokerforums@gmail.com etc.
