I'm at a point now, where i'm about to go postal and the mention of Viagra or Mortgage Loans via the net.
But.. I heard on the radio this morning, some QUT propella-head has designed a "Spam firewall". Basically what it does is it verifies the actual domain of an email address, and if it comes back as unknown host, *spam*. Got me thinking, in that what if you had two accounts. Primary is what you give out, its the one you can feed out to lists/forums/pornographic web forums...err..um..websites...... and so on. CFPOP will check that email once every X minutes, cycle through a db and find which "domains" aren't inside it and do a ping/pong test on the domain itself. If it passes, it redirects the mail to your "secret" secondary account for you to download anywhere anyhow. Then once a week, you can log into the primary catchment area and see the "undecided" emails aswell as the "spam" ones, to make sure everythings cooking with gas. Whats your thoughts on such a concept? Its pretty basic and its flaw so far is that it could take up to 5-20mins for your email to come through on first time callers.
