no-limit address does not always work: annoying!

Postby rbarakX » Thu May 06, 2004 4:03 pm

Hi,
I set up a no-limit address (by using the hack of setting the address as the exclusive sender).
However, whenever I receive a read-confirmation, the message counter increments.
Could you suggest something to change this annoying behavior ?
Thanks,
Ron.

try putting a dot (period . ) as the exclusive sender. I haven't tried it, but it might work.

I cannot speak for Ron. I would use an infinite limit as an expedient way to administer addresses that I give to senders that I think have a low chance of spamming the address or of giving the address to someone who will spam it.

Say I hand out an address that allows unlimited messages. In the common case, I never have to touch that address again. In the rare case, I am back to the old days -- I get spam. But only until I set the message limit to zero or hide the address.

Imposing no message limit is a bad strategy if the recipient of the address is likely to spam you. For me, the strategy works well for most of the entities I give an email address to.
