Re: Don\'t ever get SPAMARREST- heres why...
It's just as with flashlights. Use the right tool for the right job.
I've not used SpamArrest, but from the info on their site it appears it works exclusively from a whitelist. The whitelist is generated on the fly through a "handshake" type response to new mailings. This type of filtering usually permits you to also input entries into the list manually. Most of these types of filters doesn't completely trash the rejected messages, but instead moves them to a folder that can be checked, retrieved, and entered as legitimate later.
Whitelist and handshake verification is probably one of the most effective methods of filtering unwanted senders, but it's like using a 3 million CP spotlight to illuminate a keyhole.
Don't settle for one address. Get several, each filtered to the extent necessary to serve its purpose.
