There are few things in this world that I loath more than spam. To demonstrate that I have several layers of spam filtering on my email and blog systems. I’d get into depth about it but, that would lose some effect if the spammers knew my set up.
From MSNBC:
More than 80 percent of e-mailers already use tools such as “report spam†and the “unsubscribe†button to manage their in-boxes, the survey found.
The survey, which was also conducted by marketing research firm Ispos, polled 2,252 Internet users who access e-mail through service providers such as AOL, MSN/Hotmail, Yahoo! and Gmail.
“The direct engagement of consumers has game-changing potential in the fight against spam and other forms of e-mail abuse,†said Dave Lewis, vice president with StrongMail Systems, a member of the coalition and a company that provides software for service providers.
Huh? What? No, that’s not this Dave Lewis. You have to realize, there are more listings for “Lewis” in the phone book in most cities than there is for “Smith”.
