Trading with spammers is like voting for politicians -
it only encourages them ---- Don't!

There are many solutions to SPAM. None are perfect. However, here is one I recommend.
Cleanposts.com offers a solution to battle Pornography, Spam, and E-Virus.

This is an ingenious new service. Your emails are redirected from your current email server, traveling on to the Cleanposts server, which then sorts them into spam and normal messages. This usually delays your email by less than a minute, so there is no noticeable impact on you at all.

You simply set up your email program ( full info on their site) to now collect your email from the Cleanposts email server, and only download the messages that it has identified as non-spam. The spams never come anywhere near your own computer. You don't waste any time or bandwidth or money fighting your way through spams.

A friend has redirected perhaps 10,000 of his own emails through this service to test it. He says that the service seems to have about a 95% success rate in identifying spam. A few messages were sometimes (very rarely) incorrectly identified as spam, and when this happens, it is possible to tell the system not to do that in the future (by placing the email sender onto a 'whitelist').

The system doesn't just kill spam messages, but stores them in a special spam area that you can go and visit from time to time, just to check there aren't any 'real' emails in among the spam.

This service can be used with any existing email address if you can arrange for email from your present address to be automatically forwarded to the new Cleanposts email address you'll receive. You can have multiple email addresses all being sent to your new Cleanposts account.

Once you've set up your account, everything is essentially automatic, and there are no added complications or things to remember while sending and receiving email.

Cleanposts offer their spam intercepting service for US$15-20 a year. If you enter the Promo Code 'ANZAC' ( All capitals,without the quotes) on the second part of the registration process, they will make their service available to you for only US$12/year. This fee allows you a virtually unlimited amount of email traffic, and also has 30MB of storage to hold your messages prior to you downloading them. It is a wonderful value for an excellent service.

One important thing about Cleanposts is that they don't generate any spam themselves. They don't send you any messages, and they don't sell your email details to anyone else.
