Challenge Response Filtering

This is a really cool and easy method to use for dealing with spam. What this does, is forces anybody that you have not already cleared to email you to fill out a short form or click a special link in order for their email to go through.

It also lets you create a safe list. This is just a list of people that can send you emails without making them fill out the form first. Again the link for this can be found at http://www.spamarrest.com  #

The purpose of using this type of system for keeping spam away is that it is pretty rare for one of these companies to take all of that time just to send one person an email. Of course there is always the chance that some spammer that is in desperate need for a life might just do that.

On the off chance that one of the spammers does manage to take the time to fill out this report, you can simply get rid of them by taking them off of your safe list or just deleting and blocking them permanently from your computer.

Some of the better washers will hold many of the challenged emails in a pending folder and let you decide yourself which ones to clear through to your inbox. All this means is for those people that take the time to fill out the form or click on the link, they are still sent to a “maybe” box. This lets you decide manually which to keep and which emails to get rid of and block. In a way, it’s one of the best methods out there right now
