True.
I worked in the email field for about 15 years. I
operate my own mail
server, I use lots of different email addresses for different purposes
and I am very careful with them. I receive almost zero spam on my
cctech/cctalk email address.
Agreed.
In case anyone doesn't know because they receive a
lot of spam direct
to their email address, practically no spam at all is delivered through
the classiccmp listserver - Jay does a tremendous job in stopping spam
from arriving via that path.
I wish more mailing lists were as diligent. I see a LOT of spam come
through specific lists. More than I typically see in Usenet newsgroups.
