[AccessD] OT Friday: Comodo AntiSpam

Lambert,

Thank you very much.  This is a very cool idea.

In fact, I have heard of it before, but didn't act on it so far because 
on an antipathy for Google.  But the spammers drove me to it, and, 
prompted by your post here, I have just set up a gmail account.  I then 
simply set it up so email to my main email address gets forwarded to the 
gmail address, and my email client retrieves the email from the gmail. 
Sweet.  Everything works exactly as it did before, my normal email 
address is being used to send and receive, but the spam is being 
scrubbed out en route, courtesy of Gmail's spam filter.  I hope I'm not 
crowing too soon, because I have only just done it, but so far it looks 
good.  (Only reservation is that a test mail I sent from another of my 
own email accounts got trashed as spam by Gmail, so I obviously can't 
trust myself!)

Anyway, thanks again, I'm hoping this will mean less pain in my daily 
life! :-)

Regards
Steve
