I’m not sure how you could create any script that would catch 75-90% of spam without also catching actual desired e-mail. But if it worked, $3 a month wouldn’t be that hefty a price tag, especially for the unfortunate sould that have to sift through thousands of pieces of it a day.

@mikeelliott1… the post does not mention spam anywhere… what they’re talking about is junk SNAIL mail.

They also plan trees on your behalf while you are a customer so not only do you save trees by reducing snail mail - you also create new ones. It’s a great example of eco-friendly business.

I signed up for http://41pounds.org/ a few months ago and have noticed a sizable drop off in the number of catalogs filling the mail box.

I feel like I should point out that $20 million in dimes would only fill up about 20 cubic metres, which is barely enough to fill a large room.

I don’t know why I feel compelled to say that.

Thanks for the info about stopping junk mail. 41pounds is another great service that does the leg-work to stop junk mail - and it costs just $8.20 a year (2 cents a day). 41pounds also donates more than 1/3 of the fee to its nonprofit partners such as StopGlobalWarming.org, American Forests and Habitat for Humanity (East Bay).

Gidday,
