Anti-Spam Filters

Note: Since I wrote this years ago, I switched to Gmail for my email backend, and since then, my spam problems have almost totally disappeared. So this is mainly here for historical reasons.

I'm sick of the spam I receive daily. I'm so sick of it that I've instituted pretty draconian filters for my email, filters that will insure that I never even see emails that meet certain red flags. When I say "never even see", I mean just that - emails that meet these red flags are deleted before I ever see them. I will never know that you sent me an email advertising cheap viagra, or debt consolidation, or penis enlargements.

If you send me an email and I don't seem to get it, check here to make sure the email didn't contain any of the words or phrases listed below. This page will be updated often.

If your SUBJECT contains any of the following words, I will not receive your email:

  • viagra
  • penis
  • ADV
  • real estate
  • trading
  • xxx
  • X rated
  • X-rated
  • sex
  • long distance
  • credit card
  • inkjet
  • debt
  • child support
  • loan
  • phone
  • stock
  • credit
  • quote
  • weight
  • reliability
  • income
  • money
  • $
  • spy

If your FROM matches any of the following words, I will not receive your email:

  • real estate
  • winner
  • feer.com
  • Parthenon Marketing Inc
  • @ugo.com
  • HotWebCash
  • Casino
  • loans

If the following words are in the BODY of your email, I will not receive it:

  • winner
  • debt
  • inkjet
