what's the role of a average internet user, to fight against global spam?

Question

it's boring to delete mails every day. what can everyone do for its own and in the interest of all users?

Answer 1

There are about 1.5 billion emails being sent around the around EVERYday. 70% of them are spam mails. The only thing we can do is try to ignore them and report them as spam mail. The problem with spam mail is that people just delete them, they dont report them. Everytime you get a spam mail, you can report it so that your ISP or Firewall or Security Suite can find out how they can block those mails. The more spam mail you send them, the better they can filter them out. It is very difficult to try and block every spam mail existing out there, but I think if everyone shows effort to report them, then maybe theres a chance that they can improve the security to block them. There might be emails that you get that I dont get, but I might get them a few months later. If your email helps block future spam emails, then it will help so much....it would be like a domino effect.

Thats the role we need to play. We need to report them and act like spam patrols and help eliminate them once and for all. We shouldnt just ignore them and delete them....its easier to point and click than to report the problem. However, its not going to help us fight against global spam either.
