So Many Words About Spam, Email, and Deliverability

As I have mentioned before: The actual, correct count of page views for Spam Resource is lost to the mists of time. While I moved the blog to Google's Blogger platform way back in August, 2006, the current version of their (very simple) analytics and page view tracking only…

How to Support Spam Resource (And a Cool Chicago Bookstore)

People sometimes ask how they can help support Spam Resource. (Which is very kind of you. Thank you!)  Should I be selling memberships or something? I don’t think that’s going to happen any time soon. But if you’d like to do something easy and/or fun to show your support, feel …

Now available: Spam Resource t-shirts and stickers

Wow! You really do look fantastic. The one thing you could do, if anything, to up-level that sense of style, would be to buy a Spam Resource tee shirt with either the retro logo , or current logo . These fantastically average shirts (which you may have seen me rocking myself on…

Twenty-three years and counting!

It's just about that time, to celebrate the unofficial anniversary of the founding of Spam Resource. I think it might actually be next week, but I wasn't exactly keeping track back in 2001 and Linkedin has started to tell people that it's been twenty-three years, so…

Admin update: Some links have changed

Over the past week or so, I've been fixing a few hundred older posts that became corrupted a few years ago. The net result is that some posts from 2016 or earlier may now have new URLs, leading to the occasional broken link. I'm in the process of reviewing and fixing an…

New year, new wombat!

Happy holidays, long weekend or not...

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…

Spam Resource launched 20 years ago today

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…

XNND.com is 11 years old today

I've long had a little banner at the bottom of my xnnd.com DNS tools site that says "since 2008" but it looks like I'm going to have to change that. Looking through my notes, the site actually launched eleven years ago today! XNND exists because back then t…
