My solution AX Man
White lists are the answer for me. No one gets through if they are not in my address book. If I don't know you and you?re not in my address book then you must fill out a web based form that emails me. I use a very obscure email address name such as x34cvb56@mydomain.com. If a crawler picks this out of the html I change it as soon as I get unsolicited email (very rare). The spammers rarely get through and everyone can contact me. You just have to use the web site if you're not in my address book. I am not sure why this is not a more widely used technique, especially for businesses. Maybe the almighty AX or BIT or whatever your name is can tell me why. If you like the idea you can pass it on to Billy and Baldy the masters of innovation.

That?s my solution for email spam. Linux is the world?s solution for Windows.
