Re: OT/advice: spam (wasRe: Klingon speaker needed in Portland, Oregon)

my solution to spam: buy your own domain name, and don't put links to your e-mail
on the internet. there is no way you will ever get spammed. whenever i sign up
for anything, i use a second e-mail address on my server which forwards to my
main one. if that ever gets spammed, i can kill the account, change my e-mail
at the different services i'm signed up for, and no more spam. i'd never have
to change my main e-mail address. also, i created a separate pop account just
for the conlang list (conlang@alkaline.org) so that my main box wouldn't get
flooded. my host is only $5 a month (this is webserver plus unlimited
pop/forwarding e-mails), cheaper than most hosts and more reliable too.
