Answer 2

My answer has less to do with getting rid of junk mail, and more to do with how to avoid it in the first place. So, I apologize in advance for not actually answering your question; you've already gotten some good answers.

As for avoiding it in the first place, get a TrashMail account. Go to http://trashmail.net/ and see what I'm talking about. If you have Firefox, you can download the extension; that makes TrashMail a right click function. If you have Internet Explorer, Opera, or any other browser though, you can go to that website and set it up.

Whenever you go to a website to just look around, or register for a one-time thing (like that Coke website, or in fact ANY website that asks for your email address for rewards, news, etc) you can use this. I have my real email address ONLY at two forum boards that I visit, my bank's website, PayPal, and Runescape. Any other place has a TrashMail account.

Go to the website, set up a trashmail account, and then put the trashmail address in the normal email blank. You'll still get the mail you registered to recieve, but it will be forwarded to your regular email address. This means that, when the email you gave the website is sold to third party people and you get all that spam, they're sending it to your TrashMail, not your real email. And, when you get fed up with getting that spam, you can just delete the TrashMail account to stop the forwards.

You can have as many TrashMail accounts as you wish; I use a different one every time I get a new website. I have the Firefox browser, so whenever I rightclick in an email blank, I can just select the set up Trashmail account option from that pointer menu, which makes it very easy.

Also, I know it's time-consuming, but it may help you to read the privacy policies of the websites you're submitting your email address to. You don't have to pour over the whole thing; pull it up, and search for "third" and "party". That will take you to the section dealing with such things. Read that section closely; many websites say that, by agreeing, you are giving them permission to give your email address away to promotion partners and their third parties. This is exactly what you don't want, and why you're getting all those emails.

Please keep in mind, if you have agreed to recieve those emails by agreeing to that statement, you canNOT call what you're recieving "spam". You have agreed to recieve all that trash in your email. By definition, spam is email that you have not asked to recieve, or that you have asked to be unsubscribed from and the company has not complied with your request.
