How To Dramatically Reduce The Amount Of Spam You're Receiving

Using these tips and resources, we've reduced the amount of spam we receive by about 55%. If you know of any good anti-spam resources we've missed or have any comments, please email us at webmaster@emailtips.com

Quick Tips

Use a separate email address when you post to newsgroups and mailing lists. Never use this email address for personal email. Then, you can quickly go through the email in this account to see what's spam and what isn't. And your main personal email address won't be as clogged with spam.

For example, AOL users can set up a special user name for free, and use that for their postings. Then, they can just discontinue that account if they start to get too much spam.

NEVER buy anything from a company that spams. Don't visit their sites or ask for more information. (If you respond to their spams, you're encouraging them to continue spamming.)

Just a small portion of the millions of victims find the ads interesting, or the product touted potentially useful, so they buy. | MORE

The "Technical Solution"
Those who are against legislative solutions, such as those promoted by CAUCE (see above), say the Internet should be self-policing, that we should not invite politicians in to solve our problems. It's a good theory, but one that hasn't been terribly effective | MORE
