About The Carrot and the Stick Project

We dislike spam, we dislike the constant interruptions of solicitors, we dislike the disregard shown by marketers. We dislike the arrogance and self-imposed stupidity of those that have been charged with the protection of the public and so we must protect ourselves or fall prey to the whims of the greedy, self-absorbed idiots. Life is relatively easy, it is people that complicate life, whether it be their life or the lives of others. We seek to uncomplicate our life.

These filters used properly will stop 90-95 percent of all spam at the routers. Your users will never see the spam and it will not make it onto your servers. We use a vast number of spam to find server that should not be sending email but are sending spam. If they are not supposed to send email why accept email or even connections from them for email?

We specify the criteria for each list and do not deviate from those specified reasons. We do not have spite listings, we do not list any IP address unless it meets the criteria for that specific list.

Content filters will catch most of the rest of the spam .
