IDblog ... an information design weblog

More spam measures

Well, I don't know why I didn't do this sooner. But after having to delete hundreds of spam messages (and files like vicodin.gif), I'm crying uncle and signing on with a spam filter service...one of those where they check to see if it there's actually a human on the other side of that email.

I've gone with Knowspam.net based on Mike's recommendation (and a followup to hear that both he and wife Amy are still happy customers).

My transition wasn't a smooth one, but that was largely due to my use of an embarrassingly old mailer. Now that I've upgraded, life is good! And I have to give a huge thumbs up to knowspam for their above and beyond tech support to help diagnose this. I'll be signing up long before the free trial is over!

BTW, I've made a tiny hack to MT so that folks who comment on IDblog will not need to prove they are humans :). I think the content of the comment will do that nicely.
