UPDATE: I'm really grateful for the replies and the advice offered. If you know how I can go about doing that do let me know. something that will allow humans to send an e-mail without revealing an address to anyone. I guess I should try and replace it with an e-mail form of some kind. Sadly that's no longer going to be possible. I've always thought that making my address available on my website was the right thing to do on principle. It's not going to go away and I'm not going to devote an hour a day to sorting my mail before I even get round to reading it. There's simply no point in fighting against the tide. It's even more depressing when I go downstairs, make a cup of coffee, putting my laundry on and then return to find that the computer is still only a quarter of the way through.Īll of which makes me think I have little choice but to abandon the idea of a public domain e-mail address. There's no point trying to ask the computer to cope with a secondary task and it's too depressing watching it collect e-mail number 326 of 16,573. Now when I check my e-mail I have little choice but to leave my computer to get on with it undisturbed. Unfortunately Spamsieve doesn't seem able to cope with these kind of quantities and has crashed a few times under the weight of it all. I cleared the spam-folder last night and today's total is already sitting at 22,702. Huge amounts like that have been arriving every couple of days since. As they say in the westerns, too damned quiet. it's more like 8,000 arrive in three minutes and then it goes quiet. I think we can agree that 32,125 e-mails in a day is just silly. This shower of crud landed in less than 24 hours. This is what my spam folder looked like one day between Christmas and New Year: Unfortunately things have spiralled since then. It didn't matter that it all ended up in the spam folder, there were still 8,268 e-mails to process and at the very least that's time consuming. While Spamsieve coped with that influx of spam pretty well it was still hugely disruptive as it sent my computer into a kind of meltdown. In August last year I posted something about spam and in the comments section someone put me on to a filtering system called Spamsieve which I've been using to help keep my inbox in order ever since.īut then, at the start of December I started getting insanely large amounts of spam.
