I have among the lowest volume of spam and I'm pretty sure its
because I just don't take any risks with my e-mail addresses.
And because you don't have your own domain names.
Actually I do run two of my own domain names which I didn't include
because they are work, not personal. They both get the kind of
stuff that you are talking about but I send anything that isn't to a
real address straight into the bit bucket.
I was thinking of making a recipient whitelist, but what if I forget one? ;)
Right now boo@ is only whitelisted for my sister, and my mom might
write to me at schmasch@ (they're both Sagittarians and like to
invent words). Then again they're on my sender whitelist so perhaps
it doesn't matter...
This includes stuff for sales, webmaster, etc. The domain names are
not for a companies that need to take in that kind of feedback so I
can get away with just dumping those e-mails. I can understand the
need to filter e-mail coming in to those kind of addresses if you
have a large enough company where you can't just throw away
inquiries to sales, webmaster, etc. That kind of filtering is not
for mere mortals, that's when you step up and pay for a major
professional solution.
I wonder if I could sell my filter program... or sell installation of it...
You can get by with some of the less expensive/involved filters but
at the cost of sweat on your brow, misfiltered e-mails, and lots of
spam still leaking by.
The sweat on my brow was fun! And I think I just figured out how to
weed out the ones where the username is valid but the quoted name is
not, such as
"Not Walter" <walter@...>
I'm trying out this filter rule:
if raw:to matches ^"[\w+(\s+\w+)*]+"\s<[-\w]+@natural-innovations and
raw:to does not match ^"Walter(\s+\w+)*" then trash
Umm... did I do those regex's right? It's 3am...
