Now that everyone talk about how much spam they have, I noticed that
As unfortunate as it is, I think the only way to combat
spam is to make it expensive to send by default.
since I cleaned up my mailshell (mailshell.com) addresses a bit I haven't seen
spam for a long while.
The mailshell service allows me to send mails from any "mailbox" under @amos.mailshell.com. So, for instance, when I filed a Debian bug report I used [EMAIL PROTECTED] and when I startted getting ONLY spam on this address (which mailshell many times also detects, depends ony the settings I put on it) I just deleted the address.
The reason I'm telling this is not to promote mailshell (the free service I use
is no longer available for new customers) but because I saw many people who
own their own domain and do the same.
The bottom line is - with "mailbox per addressee" might be a good solution for spam
(in addition to Baysian filters, of course).
