My answer to the SPAM problem.

A few days ago, when I looked at my mailbox, I saw about 6000 e-mails. 5900 of them were SPAM. Yes, I do use filters, however, only about 80% of SPAM messages were filtered out. I don’t know how many legitimate e-mails were among them, due to false-positives.

I also found out, that about 5% of the e-mails I have sent, were rejected because for the recipient’s server, it looked like SPAM ( bayesian filtering ).

E-mail is unreliable.

On the other hand, my old contact/support form was working OK.  By using a web-based form I was able to easily distinguish human beings from bots automatically.

This is why I thouhgt about sharing this method with others. With Corlive.com you can create an account for free. You will get your own contact url like http://corlive.com/JohnSmith - and only humans will be able to send messages to you. So, you can publish this contact url and not worry about SPAM/spam bots.

See http://corlive.com/help/ for more information. Corlive.com is 100% free.

“No more spam, no more undelivered e-mails, no more valid e-mails filtered out by your spam filter - no more e-mails!”.
