At last - safe email

May 11, 2007

Writing blogs means I get a lot of unwanted sp*m emails, thousands a week. Fortunately I use good filters and the gmail server which catches most of this rubbish, but it aslo means I cannot openly publish an email address on any site or posting. I have forms on all pages you can write to, but this means you have to be online and cannot have a mailing address.

Of course once you have written to me I put your email in my “friends” list and we can exchange mails normally, but getting the first mail is very important.

I have found a way now to eliminate the risk of getting any of the scumbags out there “harvesting” my email address, yet being able to give you a valid email address to write to. This is a brilliant idea and a free service from http://flow-to.com/ .


Click here to send email to me.

All I have to do is to publish a link which they give me - the link is…

http://flow-to.com/email/w1178864022lffzcdza.mth

OK that is a bit long - so using another brilliant free service

http://snipurl.com/

I shortened this to http://snurl.com/beaux/

So now I can safely publish this link anywhere and only people seriously wanting to write to me can send a valid email and my private email is never ever revealed to anyone I do not choose.

Now I suppose I will have to go to my doctor for my vi*gr*
