MAIL SYSTEMS / SPAM PROTECTION -- PREVENTION TUTORIAL
Stay anonymous. Spammers use Email robots called "mailbots" to collect addresses from newsgroups and the Web. You can outwit them and here is how:
The (4) Best ways to remove SPAM for good.
1. Now days a "SPAM filter" and "personal firewall" is a must for anyone who surfs or receives Email from the World Wide Web. We have provided links to a SPAM filter and a personal firewall to protect your computer.
Please take note: The single most important "tip" never respond directly to junk mail, a reply verifies to the spammer that your Email address is active.
Below are links to "free trial" for SPAM filters, and Firewalls for PC. Please read the notes for each, all below are thirty-day trials. And yes all are worth the purchase, if not just in time saved alone from deleting SPAM and lost data.
- http://www.firetrust.com/download/mailwasherpro/ -- you do not have to provide an Email for download. Does provide support for several Email accounts. The very best for the PC. Just click on download
http://www.mailwasher.net/download.php (Will only work with one Email address, and no "Hotmail" support.) Just click on download
http://www.simtel.net/pub/dl/56422.html (Sygate Personal Firewall Pro 5.1. It is the very best firewall for PC.) Just click on download. Never add your address to Internet Email directories. When you're on the Web, leave the Email address field in generic Web forms blank, or supply a decoy address. (There are now thousands of web sites-- including ZDNet-- that offer free Email accounts; here's a complete list.)
2.Confuse spammers by using two Email accounts. Make one your primary account that you give out to friends, family, and colleagues. Use the other account for mailing lists, newsgroups, or Web forms. If your ISP doesn't provide a second address at no charge, get a free Web-based Email account.
3.Scramble your address. If you post public messages to newsgroups or Web discussion boards, you can limit the amount of junk sent to you by practicing address munging (also called spoofing). Adding extra characters or words to your outgoing address confuses mailbots (you can make the change in your Email application's preferences). For example, if your real address is joe@isp.com, a scrambled version would be joe_spambait@removethis.isp.com. Be sure to add instructions in your signature file that explain how to decode your address so you can receive legitimate replies. But don't include your actual Email address because mailbots scan the contents of all posts.
4.Screen the SPAM. Your Email software's filtering tools can block unwanted messages automatically. Here are some things you can set your Emails filters to look for:
- If a message doesn't include your correct Email address in the To: or Cc: field, trash it.
- Take note of the domains that frequently send you junk mail and block messages coming from them.
- Delete messages with subject lines in all caps (tell your friends to avoid leaving Caps Lock on!) and messages with a lot of dollar signs or exclamation points. You should also filter out messages that include spammer lingo like "unsubscribe," "X-priority," "adv" (for advertisements), "bulk Email," "authenticated sender," or "make money fast."
