Revenge of the spam filters

Seth Godin wonders about the issues with SPAM filters, and so do I. I haven't yet found an effective way of seeing as little SPAM as possible, yet still not excluding important messages.

I often get email from people I have never corresponded with before. Many of these come from readers of my weekly Career Opportunities column. I NEED to hear from these people if I want to keep my column on track to their needs.

For now, I continue to scan my SPAM folder regularly, looking for the one gem amongst the dross...and people wonder why I am grumpy sometimes.
