 Tips
for Avoiding Spam
Have your email accounts been rendered unusable by a constant barrage of
promotions about investment opportunities, weight loss schemes, online
gambling, phallic enlargement, etc? While you probably already know a few
good ways to avoid spam, this tip sheet probably includes a few you might
not be aware of.
#1: Use an alternate email address for web registrations and commercial
email lists.
#2: Disguise any email addresses on your web page.
One method is to have your website designer use something
like the
following: josesmith <at> aol.com.
By doing this you allow most people to still access your email address, but
you effectively prevent automated software programs that scan hundreds of
thousands of web pages for spammable emails from having access to it.
#3: Use a form for feedback on your web page instead of an email address.
#4: Use Filters
Spam filtering is not always the best solution, as it is not 100% accurate
and you can miss an important email. Spam filtering may be a piece of free
software that is set up on the machine that gathers your email. If your
organization is large enough to have a dedicated mail server, there is
filtering software that your administrator could install on it. If you use a
small Internet Service Provider, spam filtering would need to be set up at
the ISP office, something that only some ISPs are willing to do.
If you can't get the people responsible for your mail to filter it, you can
do it yourself using the shareware program Mailwasher for Windows, or the
new "smart" spam filtering built in to Mac OS X.
#5: Avoid using a common first name as an email address.
Have you ever received an email addressed to eric@x.com , eric@y.com,eric@z.com, eric@abc.com, eric@def.com?
As you might have already deduced, spammers often buy the list of all registered
internet "domain names" and then try eric@<domain.com> for
a million or more web domains. If only 2% get through, that's a lot of successful
spam. So that you will be less likely to fall prey to this scam, consider using
an email like eric-th@goetc.net rather
than eric@goetc.net.
