Dear E-Postal Patron,
SendStuffHere.com was created as a way to help me deal with the deluge of
unsolicited commercial e-mail I am soon to be receiving after
MailBlocks, who was acquired by AOL, discontinued their service.
MailBlocks was a spam blocking service that used a challenge/response method to block automated
spam.
I found it to a be a very effective service and as such I developed a carefree attitude
when it came to divulging my e-mail address. After all, this really wasn't an issue until MailBlocks
announced the discontinuation of their service. Now all that spam that has been kept out of my
inbox for the last couple of years is due to make a return.
In response to this I've elected to create a new domain that will house multiple e-mail
addresses.
In most instances, each point of contact will have a unique e-mail address. This will not
only allow for "throw-away" addresses but should also identify sites which possibly are
divulging my address.
All of these e-mail addresses will be forwarded to a single address. Should one of the
e-mail addresses become compromised, including the forwarding address, it will allow me the
opportunity to modify/delete that e-mail address without impacting the other points of contact.
It is my belief that the amount of time invested in managing multiple e-mail accounts will
still be significantly less than having to wade through an inbox filled with crap.
