Comment on My crazy idea to piss off spammers

Comments

The spam problem was solved by google's spam filtering technique. I get zero spam in my gmail box.

Sometimes i think it is spam, but then I notice i signed up for it myself :p

I don't get actual spam in gmail, but I get occasional bounced messages when spammers try to send email with my address in from field. Even google groups would bounce back the email I never sent. I even got spf/dkim for domain, yet they still inform me they couldn't deliver a message I never sent.

I get the occasional bit of spam in my inbox, but it is not nearly as bad as it used to be. A bit of client side spam filtering coupled with Google's filter is good enough.
