Arrgghhh bloody spam
Having just read about Splogs in the September wired magazine, my last post got 3 spam comments within 30 minutes of being posted. ARRRRGGHH bloody spam!!!
I used to use google blogsearch to track blog interest in ProjectX and ZoomIn. Unfortunately now 80% of the results are spam blogs. It is really annoying!
On the subject of spam, I have decide to shift my personal mail to google mail’s hosted domain service. I get over 50 spams a day. That doesn’t count the thousands of attempts to send spam to every possible address combination that may reside at my domain. I have been really unhappy with the spamassassin filters of late and after spending last weekend trying to tune them, I have finally given up.
I have basially shift the spam burden to google. I figure that they have a high vested interest in sorting it out. And as an added bonus I have to maintain one less thing. I am testing it out over the next week and then I’ll convert the ProjectX mail across.
