I've had 4 email addresses for my personal life: @reed.edu (1989-1994),
@santafe.edu (1994-1996), @media.mit.edu (1996-1999), and @monkey.org
(2000-present). I take some pride that all but the first address still works.
But all the old addresses get is spam; 2600 in the last month.
That's 2600 spam messages that got through my gauntlet of spam
filters. Most are bounce messages for spam
that was forged from my name.
I think it's time to stop maintaining those old addresses. |
