Interesting approach.
I use Outlook and Cloudmark SpamNet (http://www.cloudmark.com) to filter spam.
It does a pretty good job, getting about 95% of offending messages that come in.
But, when I have to download hundreds of spam messages at a time, its still a
pain.
I am thinking of simply changing my email address, and routing most email
traffic (except on critical online accounts or mail lists) through the old
address. They will receive an autoreply with the address formatted as such:
tim dot(.) courtney at(@) zacktron dot(.) com
so the individual will have to piece it together, and so a machine can't. A
minor inconvenience for the first time someone writes me at the old address, but
if they're smart they'll update address books to reflect the new one.
