[Nottingham] re: email and spam

[Jim Moore]

I had a bit of a hiccup earlier on in the year when I had to change my 
smtp agent, which shows where whitelisting comes in: mail lists. I also 
use whitelisting, and reject email from any sender not on that 
whitelist. My spam content is at zero. As far as new senders go, I have 
one or two subject lines whitelisted as well so they use those or they 
don't even see my inbox.

So yes, whitelisting, if set up right, works very well. Anyone wanting 
to send you random emails has to do a bit of work if you're to even see it.

cheers,


Jim
