Getting Clueful: Five Things You Should Know About Fighting Spam
,----[ Quote ]
| Dr. Ken Olum, a research assistant professor in the Tufts Institute
| of Cosmology, also maintains the institute's computers. Olum
| explains, "The most important thing is never to silently drop
| an important e-mail. If you just drop it, your correspondent
| thinks you aren't answering on purpose or forgets all about you.
| So suspected spam should always be rejected and never dropped.
| Sequestering it is only slightly better than dropping it,
| because you have to look through the sequestered spam, and
| most people don't bother."
