[SECC] question on email - spamarrest

[Jim Worthington]

I agree. I find it annoying when someone emails me a question or request for for help and then expects me to deal with their spam service to be able to reply.

You may also find you miss emails from organizations and professionals you want to hear from, such as your bank, investment firm, lawyer, doctor, dentist, ARRL, radio club, etc. In most cases, they won't take the time to deal with filling out a form for the privilege of emailing you.

I find that having a good email filter that places suspected spam in a separate "Junk" folder and learns from your decisions about what is junk mail, works best. I can scan my Junk folder once or twice a day in less than a minute, based on the sender and subject. Most of the time, everything in the folder is spam and I can delete it all with two clicks. In my case, the filtering is done by Apple Mail, but there are plenty of other effective ones.
