Spam

[andrewducker]

On the two domains I administer (ducker.org.uk and notzen.com) I run spamassassin. This tags likely spam emails with ****SPAM**** in the subject line. I then filter them into a subfolder called "SPAM" and check over them every couple of days.

For the 25th-27th I have 125 spam mails to be checked. I haven't seen a false positive in months, and I usually get 3 or 4 a day that spamassassin doesn't catch. so that's 45 spam a day. Without spamassassin I don't know how I'd cope.

While I'm on the subject - I run notzen.com at no profit, I charge £10 a year for email addresses (you actually get 2 if you want them) and webspace and this pretty much covers what I pay the hosting company for the name/space. If anyone wants an address, let me know. I first set it up because I wanted an address that wouldn't change, no matter how many times I changed ISP, and I didn't want to use hotmail (ewww!)

Waddya mean even changin ISPs? Of my 9 free accounts 8 aren't Hotnail and they all have more storage, don't shut down and are rather good. www.planet-save.com gives me about 5M and helps save bits of rain forest for example. See? I can be nice!
