anti-spam

Spam is all over the internet. Recently there has been a plague here at blogger. They've invaded the comments. Luckily blogger has added one of those "copy" the letters which has to be done correctly in order to post comments. It's an "option" I opted for on all of my blogs.

Yahoo has one sometimes for sending posts. From what I noticed from my account, it's activated when I send my large mailings of recent "musings." Once I've sent over a certain number of mailings (or to a certain number of addresses) in a time period, they ask me to "copy" the gibberish.

I also report all spam to yahoo. Are there any other good safeguards?
