Sheldon, and others using Google's gmail. There's a semi-obscure, but rather cool feature in gmail that lets you create an unlimited number alternate e-mail addresses in the fly.
All you do, when providing your gmail address, is to add "+" and then additional characters to your existing address. From there, you can manage incoming message with filters to automatically route the different incoming messages (or even automatically delete them). Example: "Joe Ham" signs up for a gmail account, and selects " [email protected]" as his new address. Joe Ham then goes to some random website, which is asking for his e-mail address. Joe can give them " [email protected]<wx1xxx.joe_ham%[email protected]>", and any e-mail from there will come to his [email protected] account, but with the address "[email protected]". Then, he visits another website, and gives THEM the address " [email protected]<wx1xxx.joe_ham%[email protected]>". If he gets too many e-mails addressed to "wx1...@joe_ham+random_website2", he can create a filter to automatically delete any incoming mail addressed to that address. Of course, spammers might be hip to this, too, and understand that they can remove the "+" and everything after it, and have a good address...but, still...it might be useful. 73, Steve NN4X On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 1:03 AM, Sheldon Howard <[email protected]>wrote: > Due to the large amount of spam received at this email address, ( > [email protected]) I will discontinue using this address > immediately. > I am requesting you, and a select number of other important correspondents, > to change your database, directory, address book etc., and send all future > email to: *dr*[email protected] <[email protected]> > > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
