How To Punch Through Spam Filters

It was a typical first-thing activity. I'd turned my computer on, run the spam filter, and was checking through it for e-mails that shouldn't be there. As sometimes happens, there were a couple, and a couple of clicks later, McAfee SpamKiller sent them on their way to my e-mail.

This is a habit that I've formed over the years because I've learned that despite the technology, false positives do exist and sometimes the e-mail that's on the kill list is important.

This is made more complex because I have multiple levels of spam filters with the McAfee product somewhere in the middle. By the time my e-mail reaches me, nearly all the Spam has gone. Normally, that is a good thing. But when it contains my airline itinerary for a trip to CeBIT, it's less than optimal.
