Another pet peeve department -- S P A M (that is ILLEGAL commercial bulk emailing). Thanks to Al Gibes, the Online Guy for the tip on this one. On to the unabashed plug sideline, checkout Al Gibes' weekly column in the Review Journal Click on the Online Guy. In his 5 May column, Al highlighted a new service called Spamarrest . The concept here is that you can control the acceptable list of senders OR they can interact with a web site to authorize themselves. This process will prevent automated emailers from being accepted since the interaction includes entering a word in a dialog box that is visible as a graphic. Hard for a machine to interpret and respond (You will notice that I did NOT say impossible).
