Junk email

On the lighter side - Free enterprise! These are the fruits of that, and I am all for free enterprise. But I never open spam mail, it could contain viruses, spybots,trojans, malware, etc. I have configured my mail client so that it displays a few lines of the mail without my having to open it, also I have placed strong filters as well as email scan software so that most of the spam doesn't even enter my main inbox, but goes to a separate junk mail folder. My friends and contacts are aware of this and hence they don't send me bulk mail, or call me up and inform me about the subject of the mail if they have, so that I can retrieve it from my junk mail folder.

hey one option to this can be using an email id with some wierd name like xyzheh. so that spammer wont imagine it as this can be email id. And one more thing dont get into the traps like send it to so many friends and win some thing for free and cc it to someone this is one way spammer can get ur mail ids.

Hi my friend, I don't unsubscribe anymore because I don't believe they remove your email address anyway. I let it all go to the spam folder. In my yahoo email address I get about 180 crappy emails every single day. I also have an email address that I have never ever used before and I get spam in there too.

Oh naty do I hear you my friend. Now you're about to find out what an old bag I can really be. Before I tell you what I did, yes I know there I go again always having to make a long story but whatever. We have to pay for each bag of garbage we throw out and we are absolutely not allowed to throw away anything that can be recycled. So garbage does add up at 1.00 a bag. I hate all this junk mail and I have never done anything to encourage it so one day I was going through the mail and I had seven different envelopes of garbage but I noticed that they supplied a self stamped postage paid envelope for a reply. The old girl got an idea. I took a bold felt marker and marked an x accross my name and address. I stuffed all the junk in the self stamped postage paid envelope and I mailed it right back. Didn't cost me a cent because I had to go to the post office the next day anyway as we don't have door to door delivery. Guess what it worked I get very little now and anytime I can they get it back. What an old boot I am hey. Take Care.

well mostly I would check the root url they provided within the emails. if the sender was just a member of that company, I would report the person to the company as a spammer and they would take care of the person. but if the company was something I never heard about, then I would report the emails to some abuse section of my own provider so they would take care of the similar spams / senders after then.
