8 Simple Ways to Stop Spam
Summary:
Utilize a temporary email address for added protection.
Article:
1. Create and Use a Temporary Email Address
Services like Yahoo and Hotmail offer features to help keep your primary email address private, intended only for close contacts. Use a secondary email for subscriptions and other non-essential purposes. If it gets overwhelmed with spam, easily delete it and set up a new one.
2. Utilize the Spam Arrest Service
Signing up for Spam Arrest gives you a specific spamarrest.com email address. You can protect your existing accounts by forwarding them or having Spam Arrest check them periodically. This service filters over 90% of spam messages.
3. Set Up Email Filters
Most email platforms allow you to create filters to block spam. You can block messages containing words like "make money," "opportunities," or "Viagra." This will significantly reduce, but not completely eliminate, spam emails.
4. Avoid Posting Your Email Publicly
Never post your email address on forums, websites, message boards, or guest books. Spammers use automated tools to collect emails from online sources. Instead, display your email as an image using software like Photoshop.
5. Use Email Blocking Tools
Tools provided by services like Yahoo can block up to 500 email addresses for free, with paid options offering even more. Similar features are available from other webmail providers.
6. Employ Built-In Email Filters
If you use programs like Outlook Express, you can block senders by clicking "Message" and then "Block Sender." This action will prevent many unsolicited emails from reaching your inbox.
7. Never Respond to Spam
Avoid clicking links in spam emails, even if they claim to be for unsubscribing. Doing so confirms to spammers that your email address is active.
8. Don't Open Unknown Attachments
Opening attachments from unknown sources can introduce viruses, especially if they're in .exe or .zip formats. Only accept attachments from trusted sources like friends or colleagues, and ensure your antivirus software scans emails before they're saved to your device.
