It has been a while since people didn't hear much about spam. Nowadays almost everyone who heard about Internet knows what spam is. And it is no longer surprise to receive a letter from God-knows-who advertising God-knows-what. Spam has become an annoying part of everyday life for an e-mail user. So the question is – Is it possible to get rid of spam? The answer is apparently negative because there will always exist people who read spam and react on it (you must have heard stories about "Nigerian letters"). What you can do for yourself is to protect your personal mailbox from the flow of spam. Spam is like a rain – you cannot stop it but you can take an umbrella to stay dry and enjoy your walk.
There are two main ways to resist spam: filtering out the incoming spam and taking care of not to receive it at all. First way means using various client and server spam filters while the second is just a matter of being careful with your personal e-mail address. Let's talk about the second one.
Web Pages
Fist of all you need to realize that you receive spam because somehow spammers managed to find out your e-mail address. Very often spammers use special programs that send queries to search systems like Google, Yahoo or MSN in order to find web pages containing e-mail addresses. Then the addresses are saved to the database and here they come – you receive a bunch of spam. This simply means that if your address is published somewhere in the Internet then almost surely sooner or later you will get your piece of spam flow. If you are unlikely to be happy about this you should find the web pages with your e-mail address using different search systems. If your e-mail is unimportant on the web page you should better delete it. Otherwise it is sensible to write the e-mail in a way like "name(@)domain.com" or "name(nospam)domain.com". When a human reads such an address, he/she can easily understand what this means while for a program this will not be a valid e-mail address.
Instant Messengers
Another "source" of e-mail addresses is various Internet messengers like ICQ, Yahoo messenger etc. where during the registration the user is usually asked to enter the e-mail address. After that the address becomes available to every user of the messenger. So spammers use fake user names to get access to other users personal information, particularly e-mail addresses. Fortunately, in latest messengers versions users personal information is not available for everyone but sometimes it is still possible to trick the system and moreover many users use older unprotected versions. If you are using a messenger and your e-mail address is in your personal info then your steps should be as above – delete your address or write it in a way inappropriate for automatic recognition.
Form Filling
Finally, probably the most common way for an e-mail address to get to spammers bases is when people carelessly enter their e-mails on some web sites. Often during the registration process for a product/service in Internet the company asks the client e-mail address. And then it all depends on the company whether the address is used only to contact the client. If the company is reliable and cares about its image then your e-mail will be kept in secret. In this case the only thing you can "worry" about is that you will be automatically subscribed to the company news-list. If you are not interested in the newsletters you can always unsubscribe from the list. Unfortunately, there exist companies that do not really care about the clients and the safety of their personal data. If you are unlucky to deal with such a company then quite soon your e-mail address will be in various spammers bases. By the way, a few times the author was himself in the situation when he started receiving spam on one of his e-mail addresses. Remarkably, the address was new and known to the only company that seemed to be trustworthy at the beginning.
Common Rules to Prevent Receiving Spam
It seems impossible to completely avoid such situations but it is possible to decrease the risks by following the below recommendations:
• Try to avoid writing your e-mail address unless this is really necessary. Quite often it is enough to enter some fake address like aaaaa@yahoo.com . It doesn't look nice, but does the perspective of receiving tons of junk look nicer? NB: When you enter a fake address be sure that in the future you are not going to receive on it some important information otherwise use ONLY your real address.
• Be sure that the company you are going to deal with is trustworthy. If this is a serious well-known company like Microsoft, Google or another known to you reliable company then you can easily trust it. If you are not 100% sure in the company then think twice before giving them some of your personal data.
These simple recommendations must help you in protecting your mailbox from spam. But is there going to be less spam in general in the nearest future? Let's hope together. Good luck!

Sometimes I wonder if there are still experienced Internet users who have not been bugged by the crappy reality of receiving bulk spam emails. The way I see it, almost all online spam mails are nonsense commercial advertising. Unfortunately for millions of Internet users around the globe, we are tracked and victimized by spam suckers through online postings, stolen email lists, and web address searches. Its sad to say that there is really no legal action to stop the irritating ways of thousands of email spammers today.

I understand that spam emails tend to be irritating, but hey, its just a bunch of unwanted emails that cannot harm you. So no matter how pissed you are, never mail bomb, hack or spam the spammers. You see, the indicated site in the numerous spam mails is not really the spammers' real site. Attacking the sites is like spamming yourself. Its really a waste of your time. Also, never ever send "remove" messages to the God-forsaken spammers. In doing so, you are confirming your email address, and the damn spammers will eventually send you more spam mails.
Monday, May 7. 2007
I know that receiving spam emails is inevitable. However, you can also do some essential measures to prevent attacks from ruthless spammers. As much as possible, never give out email addresses to strangers. Such encounters are likely to sell the email addresses they collected to spammers who will then be sending you all sorts of crappy advertisements. Also, beware of some websites who are requiring email addresses to interested browsers. If you happen to be conscious in giving out personal infos in the Internet, spam emails are unlikely to pile in your inbox.

 The internet is continuously developing itself as a prime means for marketing and advertising products and services of any business establishment on the planet. This is because most internet sites nowadays have good interactive features and functions that could easily provide internet surfers a platform to safely transact their businesses and purchases. But spam has also been the answer of black hat-minded companies so as to further improve their marketing systems on the internet. With this, you should use those free mailing accounts with a free functional spam filter so as to actually prevent spam!
Saturday, May 5. 2007
A free mailing account is all it takes so as for you to reduce or even prevent spam messages from piling up in your inbox. You should have a different personal mailing account, that is. This is because sometimes, most of us tend to register on various internet sites. Registration processes usually require our mailing accounts, and we unwittingly give out our personal electronic mailing addresses. With a free mailing account, it would act as a dispensable means to shield our personal electronic mailing addresses from spam.
Friday, May 4. 2007
Free Spam Filters can be downloaded from the internet. Install one on your machine so as to safeguard both your personal electronic mailing account and your free dispensable one. It would do you no good whatsoever to install more than one of these actual programs. Or, better yet, you could get a free dispensable mailing account with a free functional spam filter! Plus, go install a free third-party spam filter so as to further strengthen your anti-spam solution.

 Since the boom of electronic messaging systems, spammers have been on our heels, or our inboxes', too. This is because even with new laws, strategies, and applications that help prevent spam, the spammers of the world still find ways and means to go around such barriers. Yes, spam has definitely evolved ever since it started out. Now there's what we call fishing spam, and go be an idiot and give it a try! Anyway, you've got nothing to lose except your personal information.
Wednesday, May 2. 2007
Fishing is a new form of spam. The spammers really think there are idiots on the planet who use electronic messaging systems for their modern digital communications. There actually are, you know. These dweebs click on a link on fishing spam messages. Yes, it takes them to a validation form which they unwittingly fill in with the appropriate information. Yes, the information they put in are theirs: their names, addresses, company phone numbers, and even their bank account numbers!
Tuesday, May 1. 2007
These fishing spam messages usually contain special offers, discounts, and even cash prizes! If you're nothing more than an idiot, you would believe these messages. Then, off you go to the fake website of either your bank, or another bank, for that matter. You fill in the information being asked from you by the pseudo-bank. Finally, you submit the form you just filled with your personal information to those witty spammers. Then, after about a week or so, you go on ranting about how much money you lost in your bank!

Most of us think that by having several electronic mailing accounts, we could ward off unnecessary messages from our inboxes. We use an account for business messaging purposes, another for our personal messaging needs, and a different one for registration purposes. But spam messages usually find its way to our inboxes. It is probably due to the continuous developments on account harvesting systems by these damn spammers. But a paid internet mailing service, called OnlyMyEmail, could unify all our electronic messaging accounts into a functional single inbox while continuously filtering out crud from all of our inboxes.
Sunday, April 29. 2007
The OnlyMyEmail service charges about $3 as a monthly fee, and the service comes with a good spam filter. I tested it out, and managed to dramatically reduce the spam messages I was receiving before acquiring the service. It is generally configurable, and it also provides accurate filtering systems for each inbox of my respective electronic messaging accounts. What I like most out of the service is the ability to unify all the inboxes of all my electronic messenging accounts.
Saturday, April 28. 2007
 Inbox unification is probably the best thing that we got out from digital information technology. In the field of electronic messaging, that is. The OnlyMyEmail service charges quite a low fee for excellent inbox unification functions. Plus, you get a good spam filter with the service, too! Those spammers would eventually devise schemes to go around this provider's spam filtering service, but I think that would also be given a solution by the OnlyMyEmail developers. If only there isn't a single company on the planet that acquire the services of these spammers, spam could be totally eradicated from the face of our inboxes, you know.
Friday, April 27. 2007
A lot of free electronic messaging account service providers offer us an option to have a free account and at the same time, an anti-spam service. The only question now is which mail service provider offers the best anti-spam features. With this, there's only one thing I have to say about Hotmail's anti-spam service: as damn lousy as the Devil on ice! Add to this crappy mail service's electronic messaging functions and features, such as its measly storage space and slow-loading pages! Advancing digital information technology, my ass!
Thursday, April 26. 2007
This sorry excuse for proper integration of anti-spam features on a free mail service can directly be seen and felt with the Hotmail service. With an unacceptable shitload of advertisements on this crappy electronic mail service, you'd get the idea that you're being spammed right then and there! Plus, upon testing it out, 4 out of 5 spam messages have managed to go through this crappy service's anti-spam function! You're better off with some other free mail electronic messaging account, or even get a damn mobile phone and try your hand out on SMS.
Wednesday, April 25. 2007
To add a shitload of insults on an equally damn lot of injuries you'd be getting with this e-mail service, think about the shitty storage space they're providing you with! Just 250MB storage space, topped off with a lousy-assed anti-spam feature? You've certainly gotta be fuckin' with me! Hell, this measly storage space isn't even enough for the spam messages I'd be ending up with this web mail service!
Tuesday, April 24. 2007
There are lots of groups that accept spam complaints, and they usually don't charge the complainants anything for their service of cracking down and eventually blocking those damn spammers from continuing to practice direct marketing systems to those unfortunate spam victims. Unfortunate my ass, you bunch of losers! Complaining to these damn groups usually takes years to see the results, and their actions are often too damn slow you'll end up having more spam messages than the crapload of spam mails you had even before you got to know these groups. It wouldn't even make much of a difference even if you end up complaining to the government, you know!
Monday, April 23. 2007
 The Federal Trade Commission is accepting spam complaints from the general public through their internet site. They have told the people that we all should forward those spam messages we're all complaining about at spam@uce.gov. But they don't entertain individual sob stories, so I think it would be best if you just spam them yourself with the complaints that you have against those fuckhead spammers! This is because this group collects the complaints that they have even before they do any action against those spamming organizations. So how much complaints do they have to hear so as for those fat asses of theirs to make a damn move?! I think their getting too damn fat and lazy because of those good hearty meals the taxpayers of this country are providing them with, you know. Well, just go right ahead and spam this organization, as well as those other groups, with your complaints. I think this would eventually make those lumps of shit move their fat asses a bit faster than they do now.
Sunday, April 22. 2007
There are lots of web mail service providers that are continuously improving the spam filtering functions of their service. With internet browsing capabilities now a possibility on handheld digital devices, these damn spammers are also increasing their work outputs. More and more people can now be reached through their direct marketing systems. But there are some paid web mail service providers that give you the same damn functions and features as of the other free service providers! One such web mail service provider is FastMail, and it is a fuckin' rip-off! Go ahead and try their service out yourself, but don't come crawling back with a damn loan request from me!
Saturday, April 21. 2007
Yes, this service provider offers lots of e-mail tools with an account on their web mail service. Plus, they also provide spam-filtering functions. Yet, most of these features and functions can be found on cheaper, even free providers who could give you with more of what these dweebs are offering! These motherfuckers think they could easily rip off people out of their hard-earned cash just by offering so-called additional functions, and their damn name. They forgot all about the free information available on the net! You should get some other free and paid mail service, or, better yet, just stick nine-inch nails through the fuckin' eyelids of these jokers when you get the damn chance! But I think that wouldn't be enough, you know, because of screen readers.
