Am I Wasting My Time?

A lot of spammers use the unsubscribe link to confirm your email address is valid. If you block them by domain name, they can't hit you with rotating addresses, but eventually it thins out because many spammers use sub-domains of the domain names, and they are blocked by the domain block. It's an uphill battle, and a bit of a pain, but worth it. If you have it posted on a website, spam bots pick it up and use it. I encrypt my email links on web pages to keep the bots from finding them.

I used to get tonnes of spam, but then I opened a gmail account and forwarded all my mail from my old email address to the new gmail account. Now all my spam is filtered through gmail's spam filter, which works amazingly well. I would recommend doing this.

dont go and unsubscribe, its a waste of time, cos after you unsubscribe you will realize that the inflow has rather increased. at least thats what has happened with me. i just keep putting them in the spam category. but so far havent been able to figure out how to get rid of these.

You can minimize the spam by refraining from posting your email address in the internet.

Last time this happened to me I changed my email adress. I couldn't think of anyway around it. And now I am very careful where I leave my email details and the boxes I tick. Very often when you sign up to a site there is a box that gives permission for third parties to contact you, make sure you untick this box. Sorry cant be any more help.

I have to say i sign up for things and then read 'em and find they get boring. So unsubcribe =) I do stick with alot. I have around 7 newsletter i lookforward to reading so there not all bad. if you think there wasting your time remove them from your list buddy =) really i can't say if you are because at the end of the your you and i'm me. (i don't stick my nose into everything) lol ~Joey

i think everyone have spam being bombarded in their inbox, thats why i do not give my personal mail to any of the sites i visit online, and if i were to give out my email address i would give the one which i do not use that much.

I would suggest using a new email and just leaving your current one to collect all of the garbage it is getting now.

same here!!! i think these are really spam mails. i just move them to spam folder and delete all.

I think most of us know that feeling, I spend loads of time going through my e-mails, I too have been unsubcribing from these offers and such like. I use my hotmail account for almost everything even though I have other e-mails accounts. Does anyone know where to send these e-mails as spam on hotmail?

I totally have this problem often and itis hit or miss. Soemtimes they do remove you and sometimes they just don't. I think I have been trying to remove myself from coolsaving for like 1 year now. I still am getting two or thrree emails a day!!!!!!

You can buy spam software or just delete those junk emails without reading or opening them.

Hi. I have been getting alot of junk mail recently too, but you can set your spam filter to block some of this unwanted junk mail from coming though. You can set up your email to only accept email addresses that you actually add in yourself. Im not sure what internet service provider you have, but you can contact them and they will tell you how to do it, if you should not be able to do it on your own. Hope this helps ya.

i am really sure you waste your time!

I find it very annoying too

Most of these emails are often spam. Most would give you unsubscribing instructions however this is a clever way of most spammers to tell whether the account is still active. So if I were you don't bother following the unsubscribe instructions.

You just mark all such mails as spam without opening it. I also faced the same problem, i used to open it and then mark it as spam but no use ofcourse. But now,my account is clean and i hardly receive any spam..

I'd say you should unsubscribe to those mailing list of yous if they are only a bunch of scams besides you've already said that those offers to you are just crap, so i'd be better for you to unsubscribe before something worst happen like they will start to collect money or information about you, be careful these days my friend many web sites say that their offers are free, keep in mind that these days there are no more real free stuffs

hey try not opening any of the mails you dont know or havent heard from before.before you know it you ll have a virus or a spyware in your computer draining all the information out.you can mark these e mails as spam so that they do not come in but it is almost nearly impossible to block spam mails.so i rather guess you delete them out.

i have about 4 email adresses,one for spam that i dalet once a day,my odanery one,one for sending away for freebies,and the other for emegances
