================== ARTICLE START ==================
The email brought convenience to communication. Where else can
you find sending a message faster than email? You can send a
message almost in an instant to anywhere that has a receiving
end. You do not need a pen and paper. Neither do you have to
spend for stamps, envelopes, and trips to and from the mailbox
or post office. Tremendous savings in time and money are
realized with email compared to the traditional snail mail.
Email makes sending messages so easy that its downside made its
way into the system with equal ease. The downside we are
referring to is spam. Spam is an unsolicited or undesired email
message sent out en masse by a spammer whose purpose probably
would be to entice you to buy their ware. As a result, junk
mails go up, cluttering the email boxes of almost everyone,
including you.
To prevent further proliferation, legal steps are being taken
by lawmakers. They are introducing ways and means to curve and
penalize spammers. While waiting for these legal actions, you
can outwit spammers by adopting some timesaving tips such as:
1. Be discreet in posting and giving out your email address.
Spammers are on the lookout for email addresses in chat rooms,
message bulletins, web pages, and directories. Sometimes, you
unconsciously and unintentionally give out your email address
in the open. Please be reminded that being discreet is the
first part of prevention. It minimizes the flow of spam
messages.
2. Ignore the message. What is the best way? Delete messages
from unfamiliar or suspicious sources.
Remember anything not worth your time and attention is worth
ignoring. If you ignore the message, there is nothing left for
the spammer to be enthusiastic about. Just by responding to a
message, even in a negative way, only confirms that your email
address is active. This is all the spammer needs to continue
doing his stuff. Where there is no reaction, there will not be
any further action.
3. Come up with a complex email address. Some people even use
letters and numbers with barely any meaning on it. Still,
others make the letters of their names run reverse. Sure
enough, this makes it difficult for your friends and welcome
mailers to remember your address. Spammers will find it
difficult, as well.
4. Know that a spam attack usually runs in alphabetical order.
When your Internet Service Provider (ISP) notices an onslaught
is in the offing, they usually take steps to cut it off.
In this case, addresses at the end of the list would receive
less unsolicited messages. While it is not your fault that your
email address comes up early in an alphabetically arranged
listing, you have the option to use a different name that makes
it to the latter part of the alphabet.
5. Most ISPs maintain an abuse email address. Forward any spam
message bearing an origin code to your ISP and who knows? Some
positive action may be done about it.
You can minimize spam messaging by being more cautious and
prudent in letting others know your email address and by taking
some positive action on your side. This way, your inbox doesn�t
get cluttered with junk mails.
