Hey, just a quick reminder that I compile my Spam Resource blog content into a weekly email newsletter that sends out every Monday morning. Each week it contains highlights from the past week of posts, and an article or two from the twenty years of archives I’ve got up in here. God forbid I ever have free time again, I’ll also start throwing in email exclusive content, like I’ve been threatening to do forever. So if you want to be sure never to miss out on my “valuable” blog and email content, feel free to sign up for my email newsletter here. It’s sponsored by nobody except me, with the caveat that you’ll hear me talking about what I’m working on at work from time to time. And if you’re email technology savvy, you can find endless hours of fun by pulling apart the email headers and telling me what…
Pictures are neat. Put the email in the slot?This is a test, please ignore! Sorry for the spam.
I hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving Holiday. Maybe you’ve got a long weekend ahead or perhaps you’ll need to be up and ready to provide deliverability support for those Black Friday email campaigns. Either way, I hope things go smoothly and that you have a good one.I hear that supply chain issues could interfere with turkey deliveries, so don’t forget that our good friend SPAM® Oven Roasted Turkey is always available as a backup.Disclaimer: Neither I nor Spam Resource are connected to Hormel or the foodstuff known as SPAM in any way. I’m just a fan! Please don’t sue!Take care and I’ll see you back on the blog and in email soon!
If you subscribe to Spam Resource via email, thank you! No matter how you choose to consume this content, I appreciate you. But the email subscribers are helping me keep my skills sharp, allowing me to build and run my own mailing list manager software, and write my own automation to send out the actual posts as email messages, from my own server.For you email subscribers, you’re going to see some changes here shortly. This will be the last “old style” of email that Spam Resource sends out. Instead of emailing you every post, my friendly helper robot will send you a summary, every Monday morning, of all the posts from the past week.There will still be the occasional “breaking news” email when I hear of an ISP or spam filtering system being down, or when a major email service provider acquisition occurs, but barring that, Spam Resource will disturb…
I’m not 100% sure of the exact day that I first posted to this blog, but based on what I can find in my own notes and archives, I probably published my first post on August 26, 2001. So, I’m going to call that the birthdate of Spam Resource, and that means that today is the twentieth anniversary of Spam Resource.(Spam Resource circa 2001-2003)Wow, it’s been a heck of a ride. I guess that time flies when you’re … sitting still, quietly blogging about spam and email.Though Blogger did technically exist in 2001, Spam Resource wasn’t moved to the Blogger platform until 2006. Prior to that move, it was all hand-coded HTML flat files with lots of tables. For a period, it was even an online software store — my employer at the time held a contest to try to drive extra online software sales — and I was one of the…
