SPAMSIEVE WITH SPARK ARCHIVE
For instance, all my blog posts are emailed to me for archive purposes.
I filter certain emails directly into folders.I also belong to a number of mailing lists, and all emails sent by me to those lists are sometimes sent right back to me. I set those emails to go directly to the trash (which I never empty, but I know those emails are there if I need to search for them). I eliminate all emails I CC: myself on.I use filters to self-sort all incoming mail.
SPAMSIEVE WITH SPARK HOW TO
Spamsieve lets you teach it how to filter your spam so it gets better over time. I'm a Mac user, so I use Spamsieve with Eudora. I installed an awesome local spam filter.If an alias gets siphoned off by a spammer, I can delete that alias and create a new one in minutes. In my case, rather than have 10 different email accounts, I have aliases which all point to my main email. I own my own domain () and can create and delete new users on the fly. If they must add me to their mass email, I ask that they put me in the BCC: field. Emails can be forwarded endlessly and it's only a matter of time before some spammer grabs my email. I ask my friends not to tack my email on their mass emails.This keeps naughty spam spiders from finding my email. If I do, it's a web site I trust and my email is written out, e.g., myfirstnameATrossprudenDOTcom. I don't post my email address on any web site.And when I send email from my Yahoo account, I set my "Reply to:" to my home email account so all mail still gets funneled through my home account. Plus, I still use my Yahoo! mail account to collect email from my home account. I've always debated whether I should switch to an internet email service like Gmail, but so far the local email programs like Eudora are still superior, as you'll soon see with my custom filters for spam and other mail.Eudrora, not Mail, Yahoo Mail, or Gmail.Now let's have some more fun with numbers:Ģ01 hours / 9,846 legitimate emails = 1.22 minutes/emailīut how do I sift through so many emails? I have a few tricks. If it were in the double digits, I might be worried. If you include time on my laptop remote checking email, and tack on Myspace and Facebook emails, let's assume 5% of the year was spent checking emails. How do I manage to process over 16 thousand emails? If there are 8,760 hours in a year, I've spent only 201 hours processing emails, at least on Eudora (I'm sure I've spent much more since I got my laptop in July of last year).
SPAMSIEVE WITH SPARK CRACKED
I cracked down on junk email in late July and you can actually see the drop on the chart-my received emails and junk emails were cut in half.
Last year, my junk email ratio was 46%, so things are improving. Here is the month by month breakdown of that: Of those 16,643 messages, 6,799 were junk email, which is 40% of all my received email. (Last year I had no email in January through March-I must have accidentally reset my stats program.) In 2007, I received 16,643 emails, an average of 1,357 email per month, or about 44 per day. In the tradition of doing a year end tally, I thought I'd open the hood of my email In Box and give you some insight on how I cope with our modern world's increasing information overload.
