Dear Mr.:
I get too much SPAM!!!
It came upon me that there is a simple solution to the 120 or so
e-mails I receive every day and have to spend several hours
determining which are important and which ones are junk, it is to
include a 16 digit KEY ACCESS HEXADECIMAL CODE NUMBER within the
E-mail as shown below:
My proposal, THE NEILL SOLUTION, would solve all SPAM problems.
Using <"Bill Neill" [EMAIL PROTECTED]> where the
#123BFD456 is a maximum 16 digit hexadecimal number assigned BY ME
and can be changed at will BY ME, and is known as the HEX NUMBER KEY.
Thus, if you send to me with the wrong HEX NUMBER KEY (#123BFD456)
your e-mail will not be received in my INBOX/Sub Box, but will go to
a PENDING BOX that would allow me to read it if I think it is
possibly important and then respond with the current E-mail HEX
NUMBER KEY for further discussions. This effectively expands my
existing e-mail box into several sub boxes or none at all, if I so
choose not to use it.
Since I can change the HEX NUMBER KEY whenever I want to, without
changing my actual e-mail account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I am then
able to keep the SPAMMERS out of my IN BOX as below:
---INBOXES---
SENDER FILTER:
Bulk Box -----Mail here is filtered as to SENDERS being known as
a spammer to the server.
RECEIVER FILTERS:
Private Box --Mail here is filtered as to my selected private
HEX NUMBER KEY, #34C56.
Business Box -Mail here is filtered as to my selected business
HEX NUMBER KEY, #4444D.
Family Box ---Mail here is filtered as to my selected family
HEX NUMBER KEY, #1A937.
Public Box ---Mail here is filtered as to my selected public
HEX NUMBER KEY, #9FF999. It comes from my
answering a public question requiring the entry
of an E-mail account for verification or access.
Pending Box --Mail here is not filtered using any HEX NUMBER KEY
or using a NUMBER KEY of #? where the question
mark signals to allow ANY OLD, OBSOLETE KEYS
AND SO ON, to gain access and is the same as a
person sending with NO NUMBER KEY( # ) AT ALL.
Bounce the Message
NONE OF THE ABOVE -BOUNCE THE MESSAGE, have a nice day STAMMERS.
Notice that no E-mail address is in fact changed from what it is
today, just add an account maintenance page to allow selection of the
HEX NUMBER KEYS, and allow me to change them when needed to make the
SPAM message bounce.
Bill Neill, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I hope you will consider implementing my proposal, THE NEILL
SOLUTION, which would solve all SPAM problems. Kindly forward this to
your staff for consideration.
Consider publishing this in your paper!
Sincerely,
Prof Bill Neill
