Some Tips on Fighting Spam
I don’t know that there is any easy way to get rid of spam. It is a pain, it is sometimes disgusting and sometimes ludicrous, and it is more prevalent than ever before. However, I have learned a few tricks that might do you some good as well.
Lesson 1 is if you don’t want spam; don’t give anyone your email address. Well as this is a most unworkable solution, I have modified it by having throw-away email addresses. I use only these on list serves. If I start getting too much junk mail, I just junk the address, simple as that. I only give my “real” email address to those I trust and love. I have my own domain which gives me a lot of control over how I get my email.
Lesson 2 is only post your throwaway address on the Internet. If a search engine can find your email address, so can the spammers. Consider the Internet a huge farm that spammers continuously harvest.
Lesson 3 is to have more than one email address. I have a few that I use, one for social networks, another for buying things, and another for lists.
Lesson 4 is masking your email address when posting on line write out ‘at’ instead of ‘@’ This will not work on forms but works great when leaving your address in a comment or chat. The harvesters have a lot more trouble converting ‘at’ to ‘@’. You can also, spell out the word ‘dot’ instead of using the period. So as an example that would be ‘feedback at counterspynews dot com’.
Note:
