Spam Hell.

I have a few domain names, some I've had since 1996. Consequently I get about 6000 spams a week.

I currently use spamjanitor web service and mailwasher pro running as a desktop app on a server.

Between them they stop any spam reaching my inbox, but they also require a lot of maintenance.

Any recommendations for something easier?



Oh - and what they hell do I do when spammers use one of my domain names as their return address? meaning I get thousands of postmaster messages? Sure I can delete them, but it also means my domains get blacklisted. Gits.

Get a Gmail account and have all your mail sent there!

I have done this and I used to get spammed to death
and since I got my Gmail account the spam has slowed
down a lot and it's such a time saver.

One of these:

+ Sendmail + MailScanner + SpamAssassin + ClamAV

GMail is fine for home use. It's a bit amateur for what I would like though.

I'd prefer a good on-line service.

No thanks. You can turn over all your personal corresponence to profiteering septics if you want.

I prefer my privacy.
