Spam Filter For Your Actual Mailbox

junkmail.jpg

Every day I come home to find a mailbox full of garbage. "You're Pre-Approved!***" "0% Intro Rate!****" "Consolidating Your Debts With Us Is A Good Idea!*****" I hate it. But I thought there was nothing I could do. No 'Report As Spam' button for r-mail (real mail).

Then the wife found a way out. It's the mail version of the 'Do Not Call' list. We signed up immediately. Since it's only been a day, I can't vouch for its effectiveness. But it's something.

In a world where you can sue McDonald's for getting fat on McRibs, I'm shocked a disgruntled postman hasn't sued one of the direct mail clearinghouses for causing his backpain and/or murderous rage.

I don't know. Maybe it's me. But I do not like the idea of giving out all my identifiers to this site as they request.

If it works....cool.

I was weary, too. After some background checking, I found it reported by several reputable news sources, including MSNBC. They're NEVER wrong.
