I'm getting a lot of spam that isn't even addressed to me... Anyone
else experiencing this? I've stopped bouncing off of my server and
redirected to a mailbox I can look at with pine. My hard drive was
running all day and I got sick and tired of that. My spam is at
somewhere around 70% or higher on average.
Has anyone tried locked addresses on all but one email address that
isn't a standard alias, then give out the special address to send an
email to to trusted friends? This way I don't have to keep lists of
what to deny, just what to accept. I would retain the ability to have
someone send me their email address via email so I can learn what it
is. We should have gone to no content accepted until you are
trusted systems a long time ago only accepting headers with null
bodies. I don't think a header can be more than offensive, I've
yet to see a header alone be a virus or worm.
