How do I get rid of all the Spam mail I keep getting in my email?
Once your email address is on a spammers list it is almost impossible to get off. Right now, your e-mail address (along with millions of others) is on a CD being sold from the back rooms of software shops from Bangladesh to Botswanna and from Norway to the Netherlands.





However there are several things that you can do to prevent even more spam.





1. Start by removing your e-mail address from your Yahoo profile,if it is on it. The spam-industry has programs that are continusously crawling the web looking for the "@" symbol which is a sure sign the the word before it and the domain name after it is an e-mail address!





2. Use a longer address. The spam industry uses programs that try sending e-mail to all known domain names. Example: a program might start trying to send out e-mails to everyone starting with aaaaa@INVALID.com and continue down to zzzzz@INVALID.com. Using a longer e-mail address will make this harder to do.





3. Never click the "Unsubscribe Link" in any spam e-mail. This will only confirm to the spammers that your e-mail address is indeed real and that you are reading their garbage. In fact, do not even open any e-mail from anybody you don't know or trust. Many spams are not only annoying but contain viruses of other malware. Just delete 'em without opening 'em!.


You can however click that "Unsubscribe Me" button from businesses that are well known and that you trust. Walmart... yes. Someone selling Viagra...no.





4. Open up a second e-mail account. Whenever, a website requires you to register using your e mail address, use this secondary address. There are many unscrupulous websites that will sell you address to others or bombard you with spam themselves.





5. Download a free copy of SiteAdvisor. SiteAdvisor will alert you when you search (Google, Yahoo, MSN, search only) of websites that are known to send out spam. This can help you avoid registering with any sites that are known to spam people.

Treat your e-mail address just like you would your telephone number or home address....only give it out to those that you absolutely trust!
Reply:Make sure not to put your e-mail in all websites.


Make a junk email just fro that reason:) but you might wanna get a blocker for that kind of stuff
Reply:Check all the spam in your inbox and "Report as spam". You may have to do this for a little while as your email provider catches up with the requests. You might want to think about having one email for family/friends and 1 for spam (internet sign ups, etc.) Whatever you do DO NOT "unsubcribe" from them, as this will bring even more spam.
Reply:1. Use a spam filter.


2. Only accept mail from people you know in your inbox.


3. Have one email address for general usage and a second one for official stuff, like family, subscriptions, banking.
