I've an idea about a new digital service . I haven't any capacity in programming, so I would talk with some user and see I this idea could bee good . My problem (common to million of other user) :My email is always full of spamming mail . Then i go to unsubscribe me from each mail listing. But after some week , spamming return Idea:Someone could develop a website in wich all user, after signing up, could insert their e-mail address for an automatic delete from all spamming database? i think is not really difficult to build, and at the same i think it could woth a lot of maney What do you think?

this is a good idea, I have not heard of this before.
But the main problem I see is deciding what is spam mail, I sign up for news letters and stuff that just go straight to spam, could be tricky.

Well, I think spam is all database that send you more than a mail per days. Then, for solve problem you that you say, use simply go to subscrime another time to newsletter that want to receive. Take a look to screenshot of my mail an then you could understand how i'm tired about this! (i cannot change my mail due to the fact that wholesaler and customer use this to contact me, and i've this email since 1998! )

I think there is a basic problem in your idea which is the way we want to delete all posts from the databases. They are not fixed and they cannot be deleted.

I think this is a really good idea, and you would certainly have a lot of users. What could be automatically selected as spam could be based on the email address of the sender or by keywords in the message, everything set up previously by the user.

I see that this is very bad pitfall for this website and it can be advantage for newcomer start-ups.

Funnily enough it was this sort of problem that led to the development of "hashcash" (which unfortunately never took off) which is the basis of the Proof Of Work algorithm used in Bitcoin.
BTW - you don't want to bother sending "unsubscribes" because if the senders are spammers that will just cause them to send more spam your way.

I appreciate your idea of selecting or filtering by special character and it may work better for that idea.

I honestly don't think that allowing a third party to go through your mails would be a good idea as there is a potential risk of making your contacts or important mails vulnerable to invasion.i would suggest you block spammers individually (if that's even possible considering the sheer number of people who do spamming) if you could do so or you could get someone to design the algorithm for you that allows you to set certain contacts or addresses as safe and delete the rest identifying them as spam. But seriously I won't recommend using an external service to go through your emails.

But the service can be something like a macro or an add-in for outlook, internet browsers or a service for email providers.

I got 1300 unread mails and about 300 mails all the time at junk folder which deletes over 1 month old posts. I so used to it that it doesn't even bother me anymore.

It would be a great idea. However, I think most services require an special link to unsuscribe, a link that is only sent into the e-mail address of the suscriptor, so a service like that would somewhat require the password to the e-mail address in order to allow the unsuscription to take place...
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Integrating it within the browser so that when you open your E-mail account it automatically starts sorting and arranging spams from your prescribed list of contacts and displays the junk in a nice compact list form (displaying only the "subject" of mail or something like that) and then ask final permission for deleting and then sending them to trash. The main difficulty would be to tailor it according to different browsers (once the coding is done). Is that even possible???

I think this idea is nice, but it's not as easy as it sounds. I've found that gmail and modern email clients have a very good spam filter, that may be the reason why no one has bothered to make your idea a reality yet.

But developers can better give opinions about this.

Cool idea but I'm satisfied by the filters my gmail has. A few years ago I woulda signed up for sure. These days it's settled down a little bit.
