Is Your SPAM Filter Working?
At a networking event recently I asked what people were doing about SPAM. My question on the topic gained momentum and I literally overheard this…
“Is your new SPAM filter working?
I think so but it blocked out my son’s email…he’s away at college and he said he needed some money wired to him …and it blocked my Mother-in-laws email too.”

“So it’s working?”
Pretty funny and when I finally stopped laughing I thought I’d better write it down before I forgot so I could share it with you. They say the best ideas only come around once. The pen is mightier than the memory.
Recently I received one too many SPAM emails. I started getting over 200 a day on average and I set out to find a new SPAM filter for myself. I looked around and asked a bunch of people who I though might have good ideas on the matter. At first I thought about changing my email, because I have had the same email for so long, but I figured eventually I’d still be back in the same boat and need to get a filter.
I settled on something called Spam Inspector and I would recommend it. I have gone from around 200 SPAM emails a day to just a few. I just thought my research might be of interest to some of you if you were getting your share of SPAM and heading down the same path. Here’s a link to the company that offers it »
Food for thought, from “The Network!” Subscriber John Rexroat…
