E-mail Challenges and Junk Mail

The idea was to cut back on the spam sends and the junk mail that seems to challenge my e-mail accounts.

My e-mail accounts are getting out of hand. Fact is they have been out of hand for months now. Thus it was time to do a little house cleaning.

E-mail Challenges

I learned something testing with challenge mail settings on my security programs ... a good 90% of incoming mail from so-called expert gurus gets returned when you ask them to confirm their intent.

Sure I signed up with them who knows when. Yes I have whitelisted them, yet there are times we, as users, need to clean our lists as well.

I even set up a nice message that told them due to spam increases in my mail, I was asking all to confirm their e-mail addresses. I have received so many bounces, it is a woonder my ISP has not shut down my mail accounts.

Gosh Frannie, didn't you know they mostly use the no-reply feature, that they use broadcast auto responders and really do not give a darn whether it is inconveniencing to you that support contact is lacking - unless of course, it is to buy from them.

Spam/Junk Mail issues

Like a good neighbor, I set up e-mail filters. The idea is to cut back on the spam sends and the junk mail that seems to challenge my e-mail accounts. I have to wonder if my ISP is not in cahoots with these spammers. How come their junk and spam keep right on coming and I am missing important mails?

Good luck my friends if you think e-mail filters stop the spam and junk mail by any degree of expectation. At best, it stops the real mail you do want to receive. My good mail may be whitelisted in my address books, and in my security allowance areas, it seems to make little difference.

Those senders are the best darned 'hackers' I have ever seen. They know more about microsoft and e-mail accounts as well as the TOS of my ISP than the worse virus senders.

I bet my mail filters, for this style of junk, run several printed pages of what NOT to let in, yet still they keep on coming.

They want to compare sizes of something I do not have. Want me to be the sex king of the women in my life. They know something about me I don't know? Sometimes their subject lines are a whole lot off the wall and I am sure if you and I tried them, we would be black-listed.

They've grabbed my e-mail account on one of my web sites and are sending ME offers using the damned thing! How stupid can they get? If you are getting them just know I do NOT send out offers to anyone in the mail. Any offer will be via a LCP and lead you to my site. I HATE SPAM!

So no way will I contribute to this crap mail.

The worse part is, if you are interested in Search Engine traffic then that mail account must be visible on your web pages. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

The Challenges of Mail Deliverability

Ever notice our mail deliverablility goes down daily while their junk and spam mail increases? Nice stats for a business woman, or man for that matter, to have to face.

And the idea we just have to suck it up is NOT a satisfactory deal either.

I can close down hotmail, I can close down gmail and other accounts that load my mail with junk and spam but I cannot close down my web sites. That is having to go a wee step too far.

So what can we do? If you have ideas that work for you then share them with me and others in blog comments or IM chats or in forums.

Meantime, my next research project with be dealing with e-mail - how to control the unquenchable beast, I better get it done before I pull out all my hair in utter frustration. Keep an eye out for it. It will probably end up a viral report you can use to send to your subscribers as well.
