Oh, I hate SPAM. And I get LOTS of it.

I had to change my long time (since 1995) email address of maida AT maida.net because it got so much SPAM.

I use JunkSweep in Outlook, and that gets the bulk of it. I still have to skim through it, though – just in case. I also still have to grab it all and delete it. Hundreds of messages a day.

So, my web hosting company, WestHost finally offered a partial solution to it. Using Real-Time Blackhole List (RBL). I installed that last night!

And, I finally fixed the biggest culprit of all today. We had a contact form on our family website that used the well know MSA formmail script. And some – I think many – SPAMmers were using it to send SPAM through our website. And we would get hundreds of these emails, all day, everyday with the “WWW Form Submission” subject line.

SO… I replaced that form with Tectite’s Formmail PHP script.

Since I did that, I haven’t had an email with the dreaded “WWW Form Submission” subject line. Imagine that. Yahoo!
