Hmm... how does that work when Craigslist anonymizes all addresses (e.g., abcde-5950223588 at sale.craigslist.org)? Do they spam the anonymized address -- I wonder how long they endure -- or somehow discover your real address? I read email locally on my PC (in emacs), and my approach to spam is to run spastic (spastic.sourceforge.net) and spamassassin in sequence. The price is an additional few seconds before delivery to my inbox, but the results are good. -- Dan Barrett dbarrett at blazemonger.com
