I pay SpamCop US$30 a year to do all my mail screening. All e-mail is sent directly to my SpamCop account which checks it for viruses and against a number of 'BlackLists'. I also turn down all e-mail to qs9000.com - my first domain from years ago.
Each day I get a report from my server and over 100 e-mails to qs9000.com a day are refused. SpamCop usually traps about 200 to various addresses I have had / used.
I have one main, 'secret' account which SpamCop forwards all mail to. That ISP also has a spam trap and it works relatively well - but nowhere near as well as SpamCop.
I see a couple of SPAMs a day which 'sneak' through but it's not the problem it was.
You might have noticed I have changed almost all e-mail links on my site to my SpamCop.net account. The SpamCop in the name alone kills most new spammers so far as I can tell.
I do want to repeat that no bots can get your e-mail address here UNLESS you put your e-mail address in one or more post(s) - which many, many people have.
In addition, if YOU use the E-Mail form, YOUR e-mail address WILL be transmitted with the sent message!!!
If someone DOES use the e-mail form to contact you and you don't want to reveal your e-mail address but you want to respond, USE PRIVATE MESSAGING. Remember - If you reply using the e-mail form, it will send your e-mail address to the recipient.
That said, the safest way to communicate with other registered forum users if you're guarding your e-mail address is to use the forums Personal Messaging System.
