spam question?

Question

is there a place that u can put in your email and it will take it off a bunch of lists, b/c i have been getting an incredible amount of junk and pornography lately and i dont want to have anything to do with it. someone must have gotten my email and now its getting spread all over the place. what's the best way to end this, besides goin through every email and finding the unsubscribe button, b/c that would take forever, and they dont even all have them, plus, i dont want to risk getting any viruses? and also not just blocking the addresses, b/c i've already used up all my addresses that i can block

Answer 1

First of all, don't use the unsubscribe link. Seriously, don't use it. Legitimate advertisers offer recipients a chance to unsubscribe from their mailing lists. Spammers are not legitimate. They use a comuter program to generate random e-mail names for well-known domains, like hotmail.com or comcast.net. When you click the unsubscribe link, you're letting them know they've gotten lucky and found a real address. Once they know that, they're relentless. Not replying at all is the best approach.

Second, many mail clients have fairly advanced spam and junk mail filters now. I recommend Mozilla's Thunderbird. Some anti-virus suites also include spam filters. For example, Norton Antivirus.

Answer 2

Go to www.sneakemail.com
This is totally spam free e-mail. You don't have to worry about having junk, spam, and pornography in your e-mail. It can all be
done with 3 easy steps: 1.) Create an account: Providing a username, a password, and an email address you wish hidden from spammers. 2.) Every time you need to give out your email address to somebody you don't trust, log in to Sneakemail and create a new Sneakemail address. 3.) Give this Sneakemail address to them instead. By using this e-mail service you can
protect your inbox. Example of use
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lets assume you've already set up an account.

At this point you have a username (sneakejonny), a password(bobafett) and an email address ([e-mail]) where you wish to receive mail but dont want to give out to potential spammers , or to those who may eventually give/sell your address to spammers. You really can't trust anybody with your address.

You decide to buy a Harry Potter book at BubbleBooks.com. Among all the shipping and credit card information they ask you for your email address. Now there are many innocent reasons why an online business would want your address, maybe to inform you that your order didn't complete, was out of stock, that you can order another half-price, etc.

Even with the best intentions, things can go horribly wrong. They could go out of business and your email address ends up in the wrong hands. Or an current employee could secretly sell your address. You'll get spam at [e-mail] for the rest of your life now.

So, instead of typing in [e-mail], you quickly select your Sneakemail bookmark, which pops up Sneakemail.com in a small window. You log in, click on "Create a new Sneakemail address".

Here you find a simple form. You label the Sneakemail address "BubbleBooks", click "Create", and are given the address [e-mail]

You simply cut and paste [e-mail] into the purchase form at BubbleBooks.com and complete your order. You never gave them [e-mail], instead you gave them a Sneakemail address which is an alias of [e-mail]. Even though it's a "sneaky mail" address, it is a real, working email address.

Now when mail is sent to [e-mail], it goes to a Sneakemail server where it is forwarded on to [e-mail]. The email is mostly unaltered, except the From: says

From: "[e-mail] |BubbleBooks|"

By looking at this line, you can see that it originally came from [e-mail] and was sent to the Sneakemail address you labeled BubbleBooks in the account sneakeuser.

If you reply to this email, it will go back to the Sneakemail servers, where it will be rerouted to [e-mail], and it will look to an employee of BubbleBooks.com as if it had come from [e-mail].

Months later, you begin receiving spam at this BubbleBooks Sneakemail address. If you were careful only to give this address out to BubbleBooks.com, you know exactly where the spammer got this address. Also, if you like, you can go to Sneakemail.com and delete the Sneakemail address BubbleBooks and you will no longer receive email through this address, including all the spam, which is probably all you are getting now anyway.

Answer 3

I've been there and you CANNOT beat these people. Get a new email address and only give it to the people you want to contact you and web sites that you can trust. The get a Yahoo or Google email address for all the other stuff you need an email address for. I did this and my "good" email address has been spam free for years now. Not one unwanted email. Just be very careful who you give it out to.

Answer 4

u need to block these id .once u do this the no of spam mails will get reduced to may be 10 per day in Ur case. after a month

let me give a suggestion most spam mails are sent to the bulk folder so if u delete it only the mail gets deleted & the id not blocked . so what u can do is create a folder called spam tranfer all the mail into it(spam ones)then click on the spam found on the top of the message
there is no need of opening the mail u can jus select the mail(check on the box) then click on spam option the id gets blocked



just stop opening the mails & after a while the mail them selves will be deleted & after some time te spamer will stop sending u mail

u can also use the disposable id feature of yahoo while regestering online

Answer 5

write to your email provider and tell them to please delete your email account.
And then create a new email addy.

Be sure to copy your address list before you delete the first one though and only let people you know have your email addy.

Or keep the old email addy so when you are on a website that might send you spam, give them that email addy.
But then create a new email addy that you give to your friends and business contacts - if your site doesn't allow two email addy's get one from another site that allows free email like Excite or Myway.

Answer 6

There is no list that can make your email private. I would suggest making a new email, and just be careful which sites you give your email to.
