It's mid-March and time to put a stop to Junk Mail madness.
If you run a website long enough, you start to notice the same annoying pattern.
Real enquiries arrive quietly, often from people who are already a bit unsure. At the exact same time, junk messages arrive loudly and constantly, trying to get your attention, your clicks, or your inbox.
And if you’re anything like most business owners, you don’t have spare time to play bouncer all day.
The March edition of Release Notes is about reducing spam in a way that protects two things that matter: your attention, and your real customers’ ability to reach you without friction.
Because spam isn’t just a nuisance. It steals your focus, clogs your inbox, and raises the risk of missing a message you actually wanted.
In this edition, I’ll walk you through three things.
First, why spam is so persistent and why clicking unsubscribe can actually make it worse.
I will unpack some practical fixes that genuinely reduce junk getting through, including form protections and the inbox level tools available through Asporea Hosting.
And finally, a simple one minute check you can run anytime to see whether spam is taking over your enquiry channel.
Let’s clean this up.
