I personally have multiple emaails myself. One is my private one for friends and family, other seperate ones are specifically for newsletters/newsgroups, and others are for "junk" like registering for services and such. The main thing is to keep your primary email tightly guarded so that you won't have to shift through SPAM. Thanks for your article on Spam prevention. I personally have multiple emaails myself.

I've found the default settings are nearly perfect, though it does seem to lean a little on the false-positives. For example, it thought that your comment was spam. For me, SK2 has caught over 2000 comment/trackback spams on this blog alone. In total I've had about 10 false-positives. Rodrigo,

I have installed plugins that prevent comment spams, but this won't prevent trackback to be blocked. I've been spam by many MFA websites that most probably is from the same network with trackback, but they are not linking me on their website. May I know how do they do it and how do I stop it? Without disabling trackback? Thanks, and I'm using WordPress. WordPress Trackback Spam!!!
