I am thinking it is probably time for Paysites to Educate the Surfers

I think educating surfers is the right thing to do. You can't prevent people from using spam filters. Fact is, many email services have one in place that you may not even be aware of. Just saying something like: " please note that our reply emails may get blocked by any spam blockers you may have in place. If you don't see our confirmation email in your inbox, please check your spam folders", should do the trick.

I've been using spamarrest for over 3 years now. But it is difficult at times to use because people don't authorize themselves, especially when doing things like board signups that require confirmation. What I would love to see is anyone requiring you to receive a confirmation email address to list the exact address that the confirmation is coming from so I can just add it in manually. But I will gladly trade off the few emails I might miss to keep from getting thousands of spams a day, wasting time I could better spend doing something else.
