AOL has not completely rid my life of spam, but it has done the best job so far. All e-mail programs should be required to have the specifications implemented by AOL e-mail. By default, the e-mail's attachments links and images should be disabled. I would also include the ability to choose which sender's images and links can be initially enabled because a rapor has been established between the recipient and sender. Another feature aol has seemed to miss is the ability to block all messages from e-mail names from certain servers. For instance, there is a spam company that continually e-mails me from a .biz domain. I would like to block all messages that come from this domain. This sometimes persuades e-mail servers to regulate senders e-mails from their side. And the key feature of the spam blocking component(implemented and kept updated by CAN-SPAM organization) should place all blocked mail into a spam folder where the recipient can delete the spam messages or mark messages that have been accidently erased as "not spam". I have more ideas that could help reduce the amount of spam by identifying spammers by character, but I would hope to be able to "work" with CAN-SPAM organization more directly. My name is Paul Brunelle and my e-mail address is *REDACTED PERSONAL INFORMATION* . I have an associates degree in computer science and continuing my Bachelor's in computer science at Unversity of Arizona. I'm currently looking for projects such as CAN-SPAM in order to robust my computer programming/security experience. I hope I can be of any help. Sincerely, Paul Brunelle
