That's sad. You're letting the spammers win.
I at least glanced at every email sent to me until the volume of spam
became so high that that became utterly impossible.
There was never any harm that a malicious email could do to me, other
than wasting time, bandwidth, time, disk space, time, and time.
My whitelist now contains over 14,000 names and email addresses, which
is far more than those that "look familiar." Plus, all my web pages,
all my Usenet posts, and all my posts to email lists, have a signature
with a URL at which my current disposable email address, sendable to
by anyone, can be found. (Well, okay, by anyone not in the Axis of
Spam: Argentina, China, Korea, Nigeria, and Taiwan.)
