Spam should die
I had made a realization and I finally made it happen. My realization was the real true way to get rid of spam. I hate spam and go to lengths not to see it. I have implemented systems to make it difficult for spammers to put their crap on this blog. The new system I implemented was for my personal email. I sign but don’t encrypt (no one knows how decrypt) This system won’t work unless you all do the same. I’m talking about digitally signing your email to authenticate the email is from you. There are different ways to implement depending on your favorite email client. Getting the required keys are not difficult and setting up the system does not require programming. It probably will be over the head of some but it is simple. For the Mac I found this link which explains the steps is a easy to read step-by-step procedure, the link is at Using encryption and digital signatures in Mail. Windows clients your mileage may vary. It will only work if EVERYBODY uses digital signatures no one will be effected by spam again. Don’t think that Microsoft will help they are big spammers themselves.
