Dear Mr. Semel:
I get too much SPAM!!!
It came upon me that there is a SIMPLE SOLUTION to the 180 or so
e-mails I receive every day and have to spend several hours
determining which are important and which ones are junk.
This is an invasion of privacy and I have the solution that provides
pretty good privacy: it is to include a KEY ACCESS ALPHA-NUMERIC (
includes HEXADECIMAL CODE ) NUMBER within the E-mail as shown below:
My proposal, THE NEILL SOLUTION, would solve ALL SPAM problems.
See <"Bill Neill" [EMAIL PROTECTED]> another example
is <"Bill Neill" [EMAIL PROTECTED]> where the #123BFD456
or #Family1234 is a alpha-numeric (or hexadecimal) number or word
THAT IS assigned BY ME and can be changed at will BY ME, and is known
as the ALPHA-NUMERIC NUMBER CODE (ANC) KEY.
A-N-C K-E-Y is the BEST SOLUTION by far.
If you send an e-mail to me with the wrong ANC KEY (#123BFD456) OR
(#Family1234) 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 ANC KEY for further communications. This effectively expands
my existing e-mail box into several sub boxes or none at all, if I
should so choose not to use it.
ANC KEY SOLUTION is preferred over much more complicated attempts to
solve the problem because it is simple, easy to program, it is in
control of the user, it costs nothing to implement, and is
EXCLUSIONARY not INCLUSENARY.
Attempts to exclude e-mail from a source exposes the test to all the
computers in the world, but including the ANC KEY code expressly
grants delivery access for this message.
In high security applications for the government and such, the ANC
can be extended (made longer, so harder to pick, limited only by the
256 network limitation) and generated on the fly (using a random
number generator) or made to follow a particular and predictable
algorithm with more keys, and ultimately, we see that this approaches
security similar to encryption and digital signature software that
provides pretty good privacy.
Since I can change the ANC KEY whenever I want to, without changing
my actual e-mail account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), unlike attempts to
invoke a blocked list or some other �list� of the �do not send to me�
type, both of which are circumvented by relocating off shore, out of
reach of the law or simply send a batch and vanish, by changing the
source of the sender, will NEVER WORK in todays world. This is a
world-wide problem that contaminates the web and slows transmission
to a crawl.
With ANC KEYs, I am 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
ANC KEY, #34C56, or #private69
Business Box -Mail here is filtered as to my selected business
ANC KEY, #4444D, #office34
Family Box ---Mail here is filtered as to my selected family
HEX NUMBER KEY, #1A937, #family22
Public Box ---Mail here is filtered as to my selected public
ANC 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 ANC KEY
or using a KEY of #? or * 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 SPAMMERS.
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
ANC (alpha-numeric) 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 and evaluation.
Sincerely,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
