If you're anything like me, you're pretty sick of it, and
just want it to stop. What? Spam, of course. This article
gives you a solution to radically, and quickly, reduce the
amount of spam messages you receive to a bare minimum.
Personally, I get hundreds of unsolicited spam emails every
single day, inviting me to enlarge this, reduce that, pay
off my debt with another debt (how does that work?)... you
know the type.
I'm also subscribed to dozens of ezines as part of
continuing research and keeping my 'finger on the pulse' -
and apart from those that stand out from the crowd and
offer really valuable information, I've mostly forgotten
which ones I'm subscribed to, and which ones are
unsolicited.
The danger is of course that by clicking the unsubscribe
link on pure spam messages, you're often just confirming
your existence to the spammer. So unless I'm really sure
it's a genuine unsubscribe link, I steer well clear, which
of course doesn't help my email levels.
The issue is really about email messages I want to read,
versus those I don't - and what to do with those that I
don't want to read.
Sorting through them manually would take hours every day,
which for most people is clearly impractical - so I looked
for solutions that would help me out, and came across one
that works very well for me.
As a result, I now get just a few relevant emails that I
actually want, or need, to read, ready and waiting for me
in my Inbox - with the rest already deleted off in my
'Deleted' folder.
So, what's the solution?
The secret is to use Artificial Intelligence. No, not
robots and sci-fi warriors, but the artificial intelligence
of your very own PC. Sounds crazy? No, it's very real, and
very effective.
In fact, it's your very own Spam-Sniffing Cyber-Pet, that
stops spam in its tracks - you don't have to feed, water or
walk it, you just need to spend a bit of time training it
to distinguish between the messages you do, and don't, want
to read.
It can take a couple hours at first, and then you'll start
noticing your spam dropping rapidly. Take a few minutes a
day for a week or so, and I can practically guarantee your
spam will have dropped by 98-99%. That's what I call an
excellent investment of your time.
After that, you'll only need to spend a few minutes every
now and again to keep your Spam-Sniffer's training up to
date. For example, if you get a message in the wrong place,
just tell your Cyber-Pet, and it should filter it correctly
next time.
Most of the time, this filtering is over 95% accurate - the
more consistently you train it, the higher this accuracy
level is. In fact, I can now go weeks without doing a thing
- and my spam levels stay the same, i.e. exceedingly low.
The good news is that this solution is one-hundred percent
free, and works on pretty much any operating system.
According to New Scientist magazine, it "...does a
wonderful job".
All you need is a modicum of technical knowledge to set it
up, and the patience to let it work its magic on your
Inbox.
Here's the URL: http://popfile.sourceforge.net/.
It's a free download, and for once, after months of using
it, there doesn't seem to be any sort of 'catch'.
What's more, it's literally saved me hundreds of hours over
the past year, and is well worth the small investment of
time and effort up front.
