Spam finally killed me

[cjsmith]

I've turned off everything but my own addresses and they're still coming in faster than I can delete them.

I shut it all down.

I have no personal e-mail until further notice. Things won't even bounce; they'll just vanish.

Write here if you want me to see something.

I've had great experience with fastmail.fm, and it's really cheap.

I'll second that - mail at thok had gotten useless so I outsourced it to fastmail.fm, and it's useful again. (I also use gmail, but only for things like public mailing lists where the ads they come up with are actively interesting... but wow have they done a good job with spam, mostly by harnessing their own users :-)

Sadly, fastmail.fm counts INCOMING SPAM against your bandwidth limitation. I no longer see the vast, vast majority of spam directed at me, so I can't compute bandwidth for sure, but honestly, I think that could be a dealbreaker.

I'm beginning to realize that it isn't that my current solution is BAD so much as that it's under immense pressure.
