Hi there,
My list is inhabited by the 'technically challenged'. Also, the variety
of systems they use often make hi-tech solutions problematic (do you
have any idea what the 'state of the art' is in a 'have not' country? --
286 technology is not unknown).
I have an alternate way of dealing with spam -- a social engineering
solution. I am fortunate enough to run my list on State machines. Our
State prohibits the commercial use of their machines. So, to put it
simply, spam is technically illegal. My policy is to be VERY aggressive
about spam (1,000 auto-dialled collect calls etc.). It is not hi-tech,
but it seems to work -- out of 24 attempts, I have 22 account deletions.
Get a reputation and try and keep the scam bags at bay. It isn't rocket
science, but it (so far at least, fingers crossed etc.) seems to work.
Just a suggestion...
Istvan
