The Frustration Loop
I came up with a simple way to eliminate spam in my email, without any third party filtering.<p>I have my own domain name for email. My email box accepts anything that goes the domain. I.e. a catchall email account.<p>However, I give a different email address to every site and service. I.e. sitea@mydomain.com, site2@mydomain.com<p>This lets my email reliably get auto sorted by who its from.<p>But I also use a consistent form to the names I hand out, so that random email that comes to my domain gets deleted instantly and I never see it.<p>I almost never get spam. But sometimes some service leaks my email somehow and I start getting some. So I change my email with that service (or cancel it) and add that email to a manual list of incoming addresses to block.<p>It's so dead simple, I feel like all email programs should have the option of working with a whole domain this way.
