how i deal with spam:

my service i provide is email domains....

lets say you pick stfutard.com

it's aliased so that every address is you, unless you block it out.

therefore, whenver you give your email address out on a website, you give them a specific email address.... amazon@stfutard.com, firepay@stfutard.com, etc...

Then if you receive spam on an address, you block it out, and not only do you not receive spam from them anymore, but you know who spammed you.

Anyone interested in this service should email me at spamdomains@fosco.com and it's cheap... for VV'ers, my hosted email solution is $5/month/domain w/ 100mb storage.

Stop signing up for web sites with your real email address.

I have a disposable web email address that I use for any and all times I have to give an email address to a website. Delete it's entire inbox, sign up, collect registration info, leave email to collect by the thousands unread =p
