It's baffling that in this advanced technological age, no one is able to come up with an innovation that will effectively put the kabosh on spam email. And when I say no one, I'm thinking Google, Microsoft, the WWW consortium, etc.
[Sidebar: Who in the fuck has the time & energy to waste generating all of that shit anyway?!]
I operate both an iMac and a ThinkPad; on the former (Mac Mail) I receive about 15-30 spam emails daily. On the latter (Outlook Express), the number is more like 300. I am loathe to open my email on the ThinkPad, and therefore only do it every few days. Which means each time I'm dealing with 900-1200 spam messages.
Mac Mail has a much more sophisticated Rule function that makes it a lot easier to set up spam-blocking rules. Outlook Express is weak in this department. I currently have junkmail filters in place only through my server and my email clients. Now that I've reached the point of blogging about spam, I realize it's time to identify a spam-blocking program for my ThinkPad. I just can't keep dealing with the rage this topic inspires, especially in the midst of my workdays.
WTF?!
