Woke up this morning and found hundreds of unread
mails in your inbox?

Firstly, what is Spam?
Email Spam is Junk Email you receive from unknown
senders. Clicking on links within the email might
direct you to a phishing website or sites that
host malware. Spam email may also include malware
as scripts or other executable file attachments.

But why would anyone send me SPAM?!
Spam email is a simple Math game. The more spam
emails a spammer sends, the more likely he or she
is to get recipients to respond to the email. If
a spam email sender has a list of five million
email addresses, only a small fraction of those
need to reply to the spam message in order for it
to result in significant financial turnover for
the spammer.

How does MONEY come into the picture here?
If a persons sending you Spam, theres always
some gain involved for him. On most occasions,
your spammer has committed to a firm that hell
provide them with your email address so that they
can send you their newsletters, etc. Once your
email address gets verified, the concerned firm
pay the spammer for the mails he sent out.

So now how do I save myself from being Spammed?
1. Try Disposable Email Addresses
Using your real, primary email address anywhere
on the web puts it at risk of being picked up by
spammers. A disposable email address will
forward all mail to your real address. But wont
that also send you spam? Not really. If you
dispose of the email address, you wont receive
any spam

2. Every Checkbox isnt meant to be Ticked!
To avoid that, Look closely at every form you
fill on the Web and Make sure all relevant
checkboxes are not ticked. Sometimes, the text
will read NO, dont give away my email
address, and the checkbox will consequently be
unchecked by default. Check it.

3. Disguise your Email Address
To avoid ending on a spammers mailing list when
you post to a web forum or a newsgroup, you can
disguise your email address by inserting
something obvious into it. If your email address
is me_at_example.com, you can modify it to read
me_at_EXAdelete_thisMPLE.com, for example. You will
not get spam at that email address since all
messages to it will bounce.

4. Domain Owners Set up Throwaway Addresses to
Fight Spam
If you own a domain, you have a great anti-spam
tool at hand your mail server. You simply need
to enable the Catch-All feature in your email
which when activated allows you to catch all of
the emails sent to your domain, whether the ID
exists or not.

5. Enable Privacy Protect
You can also enable the Privacy Protect option
for your Domain Name, your Domain
provider replaces your Contact Details in the
Whois information with its generic contact
details, thus, masking your personal contact
details. BigRock provides this service free of
charge and is enabled by default for most domain
extensions.
