Maybe you just need some training on closing the sale? How do you expect to close deals with just a simple email? You gotta sell it baby! Get the digits and make the call and close close close! Glengarry Glenross would be a great movie for you to rent. Next, try Boiler Room. You may be good at "Making Mooney Online" but you could be better if you were a closer! Coffee is for closers! (no criticising here...just funning with you and making a soft point at the same time) Hey Cow, it sounds like you have more than just a spam-catch problem.

If one link in the chain gets lost or gets chucked out by mistake as spam, things breakdown. Considering the popularity of RSS with bloggers, it seems to me that private ad sales could be managed more efficiently if each user (or rather each email address, combined with a random string) could have an RSS Feed created. So when an ad gets approved or payment is needed, its added to the personal sales feed. Advantage is that as long as the site is up, the messages can always be looked up. Not entirely without selfish motives here though. I brought it up since I have a module in development for OIOpublisher that does just that. User chooses email or RSS communication (or both).
