Spam is all invasive and is almost impossible to keep out of an email inbox, no matter what filters you use. The only perfectly spam-free inbox is one that is never used! And that's hardly useful, is it.

One thing to remember is this: email was never designed to be a mass-communication tool, and so was therefore never designed for mass use.

Hence the ease at which spammers can send spam.

Spammers use a variety of methods to get into your inbox, one way being to crawl the web and gather every email address they find. They can then use these addresses themselves, and also sell them to other spammers. Hence, once you're on one list, you'll get on many spammers' lists. Often, once this happens, the only answer is to quit that email address and choose another. Not very convenient, is it.

So what is the definitive and total answer to keeping spam out of email inboxes?

In my view it has to be the use of desktop technology that allows for two-way communication, and ditch email for good.

If the desktop application is not two-way, then email would have to be used for the reply, and that means that our initial problem still exists.

In short, what we need is a paradigm shift in relation to Internet mail, and as such we must opt to use a private and closed system, rather than the undesigned and outmoded 1970's technology, which is email.

This introduces you to the new net world of Private Internet Mail, and a unique two-way private Internet mail system, where spammers and others can not get in. Hence, spam is history: defeated.
