Hi, my name is Terry Smith and I'm a developer and aspiring entrepreneur.

As part of the Jaxified service, we’ve developed an e-mail “client” that downloads a copy of all of your mail for an account you sign up for.  And I see a lot of spam messages everyday.  For a while I’ve been thinking there has to be a better, more involved way to fight spam. 

Today I realized that spam fighting as it stands currently is done at the ISP or mail server or on your computer.  There’s no central service that consumers can use to fight spam.  Why not create a consuemr oriented website where consumers can sign up for an anual fee?  This service would create an IMAP client to connect to a customer’s mail server, check each new message for spam and if it’s spam, then move it or delete it.

There’s not much else to it; it’d be an interesting challenge and you would have A LOT of information to fight against spam.
