It basically works like a visual confirmation. Someone sends you an email and they receives one in return, if they don't follow the link and input the visual confirmation, you don't receive the email. It's a paid service if I remember correctly.

Title: Forum Addict Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,947 Location: Michigan ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I use a program similar to what Fredto mentioned. The program I use is called ChoiceMail One and it sits between the mail server and my e-mail client (Microsoft Outlook). All e-mail comes into that program first and it works on a whitelist/blacklist system. If you are on my whitelist, I get your e-mail. If you are on my blacklist, I don't. If you aren't on either list, I then have to approve or deny your e-mail address. The program allows for this to be done automatically but I prefer to have control over who's on which list. Give them a look as I've been using this for three years and more than 85% of all e-mail I receive is spam. I have never had any spam get to Outlook and past ChoiceMail in that time. Once the program is setup, it simply works.
