Tips for Lowering Your Amount of Spam
Lots of folks email asking how they can lower the amount of spam they get. I’m no tech expert, but one suggestion might be to have your IT department post an email address on a public page of your Web site that’s there simply to catch spammers who send spiders to harvest emails from Web sites. Perhaps have it be for a faux executive or something — but make sure all the real email addresses are above it so no “real” enquiries use it.
Then have IT catch all the mail that starts coming to that address and use it as a comparison pool for mailing coming to other addresses. Anything that’s a duplicate is almost certainly spam and can be zapped before it clogs your inbox. You IT dept can probably write a program that compares email without having a human being actually sort it.
