As I mentioned in my recent post about stopping spam, we’ve decided to do a little test here at OnSoftware. Earlier today, I set up five new email accounts with leading webmail providers – Gmail, Hotmail, Hushmail, AOL and Yahoo. Now we’re going to do something crazy, something that you folks should definitely not try at home – leaving them on the blog for all the world to see! We’ll also use the addresses to apply to a not very reputable-looking Internet competition. I’ll let you know if we win anything.
In a month or so, I’ll go back to each account to see just how well each has done at keeping out the spam. Will it be my personal favorite, Gmail, or an old reliable like AOL? What about the underdog, Hushmail? All will be revealed…
