How can i stop spam?

Question

I've used my email address for several years with no problem, but just recently I've been receiving spam; around 40 emails a day. I've cranked up the spam controls on my hosting account as much as possible but it has helped only a little.

How can I stop this spam?

Whoever KNOWS how to do that will be a millionare

Answer 2

You cannot stop spam, but you can lessen it. Make sure that the spam guard is on. In your mail options, set your spam control where it would send the email adresses to the blocked list once you mark it as a spam.

The best reverse cell phone lookup service that I have tried is http://reversephone.toptips.org

From using a reverse cell phone lookup you will be able to get the callers name and address just
by typing the phone numbers they will tell you the details related to the number.
The reverse cell phone lookup service has your details available they will give you the cell phones location. For a full report including a name and address and other interesting informations you will have to pay.
Enter the number in the system and they will tell you a lot of informations about the phone number and the person who owns it.
If they have extra details you will have to pay for the report.
Free reverse phone lookup sites generally provide the most basic of information such as name and it works only for landlines. To get further information, money will have to be paid. The free searches do not provide much more than what can be found through the phone book.
This service is great, I used it a lot f time with great results: I always obtained what I was searching for.
I definitely reccomend this service.

It really is impossible. I tend to keep two email accounts - one at Yahoo, and one with my main internet provider. Only people that I trust implicitely have access to my main email address - everyone else gets directed to my Yahoo account.

Guess which one gets all the Nigerian Scam letters, Phishing emails and offers me special deals on viagra all the time?

Once they've got you and know you have a working email address you are basically doomed, and if if write them and complain about it they just send even more!

It is a practice that needs stamping out, preferably by taking these scumbags out at dawn and shooting them. Sadly, I don't think that will happen any time in the near future. You'll have to live with it, just like the rest of us!

Answer 5

Use an e-mail program that uses Bayesian analysis to filter e-mails. I have Mozilla Thunderbird trained so well it automatically throws the spam away.

You need a new email adress. I recommend bluebottle. It is like a private unlisted phone number.The only people who can email you is the ones you give permission to. NO SPAM.

Answer 8

unsolicited mail filters do the activity of sorting digital mail into 2 folders: inbox and bulk. the clarification that filters do no longer rapidly delete any digital mail, is that some genuine digital mail might finally end up contained in the unsolicited mail, and if its significant, eg on line order or transforming into a member of a paysite, then you definately might desire to acquire that digital mail for password and so on, even with the clear out seeing this as unsolicited mail. you may then go with the digital mail as "no longer unsolicited mail". sometime it occurs that the occasional unsolicited mail slips via to the inbox. only delete it. with reference to the majority mail folder you may delete manually after checking for the atypical genuine emails, or after each and every week or era which you focused, it deletes all emails in unsolicited mail folder.
