How do I avoid getting spammed? 1. Prevention: Prevention is the
best medicine so avoid giving your email address to unfamiliar
recipients. Use more than one email address; one for friends,
family and colleagues and second for unfamiliar sources. If you
have an e-mail address that receives a large amount of spam
replace it with a new address. Once your e-mail address is on a
spammer's mailing lists, it is likely that you will receive
increasing amounts of spam. At work, use your work email address
only for work communication. 2. Use Filters: A second way to
stop spam is to use your email application's filtering features.
Most email applications allow you to block specific messages.
When an offending email comes in, set the filter to block
further incoming mails from that sender. At the network level,
implementing spam and virus checking isn't very difficult.
Depending on the mail server, implementing spam filtering such
that it is able to reject spam before the SMTP session is over
can be difficult. 3. Report
