This isn't my idea - I stole it from someone else - but I think it is excellent,
I use it myself, and I am very happy to recommend it to all who will listen:
Steve's 100%-guaranteed-no-spam- solution.
OK, it's not 100%, but it really works well. Whenever I go to a web site
and sign up for something (and I end up doing this a lot) I don't
give them my normal email address (steve@4penny.net).
If I am shopping on my favorite website (www.tigerdirect.com)
I use tigerdirect@4penny.net.
If I go to JC Penny and buy something, I use
jcpenny@4penny.net.
Since I own the 4penny.net domain, all the mail for that domain comes to me. All
of it. If you send mail to 'junk@4penny.net',
I get it. That's the key. Since I get all the mail to 4penny.net, I get the
mail to tigerdirect@4penny.net, and
all the others too.

"They sold my name to spammers for profit"
|
Last year I signed up (because my wife told me to) to
www.classmates.com. You know, that site that helps you get in touch
with your old high school classmates? When I signed up I used
classmates@4penny.net. Last month I started getting spam
sent to that email address. Grrrrr. They had sold my name to spammers
for profit. Obvoiusly, I knew where the spammers had gotten the
email address... So, nice as you please, I went to the server and blocked
all email to that address.
I still get my email to steve@4penny.net,
and none of the spam.
Just a thought.
4Penny.net offers email and web hosting starting at 7.95/month.
