I know this concept isn't new, but it seems everybody is always complaining about spam so I figured I would let some of the unfortunate souls in on getting rid of it for good. I get zero spam.

1) Pick a domain name you own.

2) Don't setup the wildcard on it.

3) EVERY site or person you give an email to, give them a unique email address. Just remember to add it into you incoming list. Takes me 2 seconds as long as I have an open shell.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
vi /etc/mail/virtualusertable

* Add the seeded address *

makemap -v hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable 1>/dev/null 2>&1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

4) When spam arrives, not only can you kill it for good, you know the perpetrator.

5) Lastly, don't post your email address on your website. Use a script and make the user submit a form that emails you.

Questions?
