If you are buried in SPAM then youre not alone. Its been
suggested that as much as 50% to 75% of the e mail visitors on
any given day is SPAM. Reading through SPAM is a waste of your
time and it subjects you to potential viruses, trojan horses,
and sexual material which could be quite offensive. Here are some
tips on how to win the SPAM war:

1. Use a throwaway electronic mail address when placing to public news
groups and chat rooms and for your Yahoo or MS Messenger Chat
accounts. You can get free e-mail addresses at Yahoo, HotMail and
other places. Use your personal ISP-provided e-mail address only
to communicate with trusted sources. If you are an AOL user then
set up an additional electronic mail account to make use of for public posting
purposes. When your costless or spare e mail account starts grasping
abused just close it and open another.

2. Take the measure to set up different e-mail addresses for
different purposes. Have one for business communications,
another for personal and another one for shopping online. That
way you may avoid the risk of exposing one e-mail address to all
of your contacts.

3. If you own your own internet page then the chances are that your
hosting account comes with the ability to create new electronic mail
addresses on the fly. These are addresses that will
automatically forward to your main address. If you have that
capability then utilize a unique address for each web page or mailing
list that you choose to join. For example, if your web site name is
abc.com and you decide to join the mailing list located at
xyz.com, you would join using the address xyz@abc.com. If you
beginning grasping SPAM to this address then you know that the people
who run xyz.com are responsible. You might complain to them and
their ISP and you might easily delete that email address.

4. Do not list your e mail address on your own web page in plain
html or as a link to a contact form. Spammers make use of automated
robots to capture these addresses and add them to SPAM
databases. Instead utilize an e mail cloaking program whenever you
absolutely need to show your e-mail address. You can search at Google.com
using the phrase "electronic mail cloaking" and come up with a lot of
options. Just pick the one that works best for your particular
needs.

only might the business or offer be a scam but you are jumping
right into the fire by letting spammers know that your email
address is active and that you buy from spammers. Your address
will be sold to thousands of other spammers.

6. Never reply to a spammer or click the "remove my address"
backlink . That only lets them know that your address is nice .

7. If your email accomadation or email client comes with SPAM filters
utilize them.
