I dont think white listing as a solution has worked well for anyone. Filters, reporting abuse to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] Everything has its limitations. What does the spammer do?. Picks up his stuff and moves to the next ISP.
We are an ISP, and what has worked for us is to provide Disposable email addresses as a value added service. One of the posts replied , saying that we as a company were running away from the problem. I see it as smart business sense. We cannot compete with the big ISPs and the question we ask ourselves is "why would john doe come to us?". He wouldn't, unless we give him reason to do so. In addition, in these lean times, whatever value added services we can provide as small ISPs, adds to our bottomline. And SPAM is a real problem. There are plenty of sites which give out disposable email addresses. www.brightone.com(free downloads for ISPs). Will interest you if you are an ISP and want to provide the service to your users. www.spamex.com for just the disposable email service(Signing up-Yes,Downloads required-No). Will interest you if you are the end user. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
