Tips to Help You Reduce or Stop Spam
1. Use a separate email address when you post messages to any public forum, such as newsgroups and mailing lists. Never use your personal email address for this purpose -- or you'll be flooded with spam. Then, you can quickly go through the email in this account to see what's spam and what isn't. And your main personal email address won't be as clogged with spam.
2. Remove your email address from your website. If you list or link to your email address, you can expect to be spammed.
Address-harvesting robots will spider your site and extract them. So remove them wherever possible and use web-based forms instead. This will drastically cut down the amount of spam you receive if you have a website.
3. NEVER buy anything from a company that spams. Don't visit their sites or ask for more information. (If you respond to their spams, you're encouraging them to continue spamming -- they only need a tiny fraction of responses to be profitable.)
There's another reason not to buy anything from a company that spams: over 95% of spam offers are scams! In fact, not responding to spam is the single most effective way to not get scammed on the Internet.
4. Filter your email. Using filters is key to managing your email effectively. It may take a short time to figure out how to do this, but it's definitely worthwhile.

Safeguard your newsletter and discussion list subscriptions. If you, your ISP or web host use spam filters, be sure to let them know that you want to receive messages from any newsletters or discussion lists that you subscribe to.
Do it as soon as you sign up... otherwise, it's very easy not to notice that you're not receiving them.
Make sure to add [email protected] to your list of allowed email addresses to receive IAHPC newsletters and other communications you have subscribed to.
While these tips may not actually stop spam, they will certainly help you drastically reduce the amount of spam you get.
Drop by often & don't miss out
Until next month!
