Hello Paul, This is what you said on Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:47:13 +1000 your time:

I personally use the old way of creating company / contact specific email aliases: everyone has their own contact email address IOW. Of course this means creating forwarders for every new contact, but then you can identify immediately where SPAM has come from...and inform whoever it is that has leaked the email address that they've got a problem. I also then delete the forwarder for them and give them a new, 'clean' alias/contact email address. For this purpose I use a separate domain name to my personal (friends and family only IOW) one, and of course there is a default address that I give out if I can't set up a new forwarder for someone/a contact there and then. When I'm next at my PC I'll set up a new forwarder for whoever it is and send them an email asking them to update their contact details. I also create a monthly temp alias with a 8 digit code. Eg. [email protected] and use this for all other contact forms and such like. Every month I simply delete the alias and create a new one, excluding the temp address, this particular setup is near as dammit 100% SPAM free. My personal email does get occasional SPAM, and I keep having to update the filters in cPanel. But I've just been reading about the free Comodo AntiSpam software, which is a free challenge and response system. This 'looks' promising, and may be the solution I've been looking for my personal communications. -- Simon (Privateofcourse) # 9200.
