Welcome to the Carrot and the Stick Project

Currently the average individual's email must run a gauntlet of spam filters before it is accepted and delivered into their inbox; each filter has it's own set of rules that govern how and what it filters. one set of rules will filter on body text, or subject line, or the from field, another will filter using "hash" code and yet another by IP addresses and much of the spam is stopped, however, these methods for preventing spam have two massive failings.

The first failing is, these filters simply do not stop all the spam and secondly, the filters results in "false positives" where desired email is labeled as spam and either discarded or lost in a spam folder.

We at stop-spam.org, believe spammers are directly responsible for this ongoing escalation of the increasingly aggressive spam filters. Instead of honoring the individual's choice and respecting the filters the senders are now going to great lengths to force their spam past filters and this requires a response from the provider to protect their customers.

Stop-spam.org offers an alternative to simply watching and waiting for the eventual collapse of the Internet. We offer a list of IP Addresses for businesses that abide by Accepted Standards of Conduct for the Online Business and Accepted Best Practices Online Email Marketing.

The stop-spam.org has brought together a variety of talented and dedicated individuals to keep Electronic Mail a versatile and usable method of communication for both the Online Business Community and the Home User.
