Does this mean I should have kept the 25 "don't you want a larger penis?" and Viagra/Ciallis ads I deleted this morning?
Don't you have a spam filter on your state e-mail server? They're getting pretty good.
I have one I use through VISI.com - a Minneapolis-based ISP, and it works quite well. These days everyone knows putting your "real" e-mail address out on the internet is a virtual invitation to receive spam - but that wasn't so clear before, say, 1999. When I registered my domain for my law practice in 1996, I didn't know any better. As a result my main work e-mail address gets hammered by spam, maybe 150-250 a day. VISI's spam filter "postini" cuts that down to a trickle, maybe 3-5 a day, with a false positive rate of less than 1 in 10,000.
Government officials shouldn't be archiving spam -- but they ought to be archiving everything else. Hence my point -- spam filters.
