[AccessD] Email spam risk <rant>

Susan,

I use email boss, and spam assassin.  Neither by its self does it.  Together
I get virtually zero spam left in my inbox and the false hit rate is so
close to zero that I just delete it without looking.  Actually I do use some
normal rules, which appear to be looked at before the other two do their
thing, to route a bunch of newsletters I am signed up for into a newsletter
folder.  Some newsletters get tagged as spam, but I just add them to my
rules and prevent that happening.

Well, once you started talking outside Access the little light inside my
brain went dim.

"All the figures I ever had in my head just fly right on out when I have on
a new bonnet." Rabbit

Anyway... I don't even really understand what you guys are talking about. I
know of no way to really protect ourselves from spam save unplugging. I
suppose if there's a way to conceal list addresses, we should do it, just on
principle, but I probably visit at least one new site a day -- and
unfortunately, I'm drowning in spam, some pretty bad spam too. There's no
way I would even know from where they gleaned my address.
