Stop Spam Email

3 Thing You Should Never Do

1 - Don’t send spam. You’re probably thinking, “that’s obvious; it doesn’t need to be on the list,” but unfortunately, many people send spam without realizing what they’re doing. Have you ever forwarded an email to your entire address book because you thought it would help find a lost child or result in money being sent to all your friends? It’s spam. Or do you automatically add senders to your email address book and then send an announcement of a sale? It’s spam. Those might not fit the legal definition of spam, but most of us don’t welcome such messages. (more…)

1 - Keep one email address for very personal use only. This is the email address that only your family and closest friends will know. Don’t use it for any other purpose.

2 - Use “throw away” email addresses for all your online activities. That way if any one email address becomes overwhelmed with spam you can just delete the address. (more…)

The only sure way to avoid receiving spam is to make sure your email address is never published or listed anywhere on the Internet. Not a realistic choice for most of us who have any kind of online presence and just about impossible if you do business online.

There are steps you can take to minimize your exposure and keep your inbox relatively spam free.

The number one most effective technique you can use to keep spam email out of your business inbox is to keep your email address off of your website.
