Contact Mike Clark

You may send electronic email to me at mclark@planetmike.com. I am now using a wonderful resource called the Spam Assassin to protect my mailboxes.

The Spam Assassin reads all of my incoming email and if the message looks like spam, it tags it as "probable spam." Those messages don't get read by me. I simply glance at the sender and the subject line. If the message looks to me like spam, it probably is, and so I delete the message. I hope to set up a system to automagically archive my spam into a web page. So far, in one month, the system has correctly tagged 464 messages as spam. And no messages were incorrectly tagged. That is great!

I've also installed the Spam Assassin on all of my mailboxes at work. It has correctly pre-filtered for me over 1,100 messages in a bit over three weeks. I receive email at over 25 addresses at work, mainly webmaster and other public addresses that I am the gatekeeper for.
