That's the problem - it is possible to set a computer up to reject
anything that isn't from an "approved" address, but all it takes is
for one address to be missed or changed for good stuff to disappear
into space.

That said, how many of these sites are there? If I were to visit all
of the pornography-or-related-subject-matter sites that I have
advertised to me, I would never have time to do anything else. And
that's not counting all of the stuff that get's filtered out.

(The spam filter at home, who is called Albert, gets far more mail
than I do, and I customarily get sixty or seventy e-mails a day. He
now has something like three or four thousand messages and I don't
think he's yet a year old.)

I've recently set up an ephemeral address server, since I often have to
correspond with people using Microsoft products. After a few months, the
address I gave only to them starts to get spam and virus mail, and I
cancel it and give them a new one.

The mildly ironic thing is that anyone who wants porn and is prepared to
look around a bit will be able to find it without charge anyway...
