You can do a few things... Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Sun, 4 May 2003 15:01:08 In Reply to: I use mail.com and hotmail..., KeithB, Sun, 4 May 2003 13:53:34 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Just don't post your email address in clear text on the web. Most sites, like TSN (and eBay for example) will hide your email address and when people want to get in touch with you, the site provides forms and does the mailing but never shows your email address to anybody. As soon as your email address is in clear text on a web page, you'll start getting spam.
In addition to hiding your email, TSN blocks harveter robots at the IP level, but not many sites do this I don' t think. I'm working on a tool that will make the TSN hidden email tool available for TSN users to use anywhere.
You could also use something like Spamcop.net to report spam and also, if mail.com allows it, to have spamcop.net filter your mail. I use spamcop.net's DNS block list service and actually another half dozen DNSBL's (like spamhaus.org). For those running Linux/Unix, the Spambouncer.org filters (used with procmail) are good too. I use those myself for filtering received mail.
