Spam Arrest: Why Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Ways…

April 8, 2008

Not much time to write a full article today, but just going through my significantly Spam-free email inbox, I figured I’d write a quick ode to one of my absolute greatest discoveries ever:  Spam Arrest.

As an online marketer, I probably sign up online for anything from 3-10 different things a week - free software trials, site memberships, newsletters, reports, white papers - you name it.  Sometimes I really want what I’m signing up for, and sometimes I just need to see what other people are doing - so I can copy!  Haha!

As an email marketer I understand that each of these signups means I’m going to receive anything from 1 to 100 emails from each site I sign up at (!!!) - but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.

Before I discovered this lovely thing called Spam Arrest, I was literally receiving at LEAST 120 junk messages per day, per email address that went into my Outlook.  I have SEVEN email addresses in there.  DO THE MATH.

So Spam Arrest, why do I love thee? Let me count the ways…

  1. You send an automated challenge email to everyone who writes me, to weed out the undesirables

  2. You forward only the "good" email I actually want to my Inbox, and leave all the undesirables in a separate folder - lost in cyberlimbo until I say they’re ok. HAHAH! SUCK IT, Spammers!

  3. You keep a copy of all my email online, so I can access it from anywhere…

  4. You’re cheap…

…and so much more.  Like I said, not much time today.  Admittedly, there still are some doggedly determined Spammers who still get through - but my Outlook junk filter takes care of those. … And seriously - 3 or 4 pieces of junk compared to over a thousand (???) is perfectly fine by me.

I totally agree. SpamArrest is a godsend for me, too. I was being pummeled by spammers and suffering another woe - Yahoo Mail’s unreliable, slow service - a deadly combo…

GMail and SpamArrest to the rescue! I am now emailing in a SPAM-free zone - something I haven’t been able to say since the 1990’s!

Elated.
