How to Avoid SpamTo help avoid receiving unwanted messages (spam) in your regular e-mail account, you may not want to include your regular e-mail address when you post a
question or reply to a post in a discussion group.
Use a modified email address
Use a different version of your e-mail address that others will understand, but that spam tools can't automatically pick up and add to their mailing list
For example, if your actual e-mail address is "emailname@account.com", use "emailname(removethis)@account.com" as your modified e-mail address. In this case, the spam tools
will send mail to an invalid e-mail address, and others will know to exclude the "(removethis)" when they send you e-mail.
When you post a question or
reply to a discussion group, just enter your modified e-mail address in the appropriate box.
Use a secondary e-mail account
Set up or use an e-mail account, such as a Hotmail account, that is separate
from your primary account for posting to discussion groups. When you post a question or
reply to a discussion group, use your Hotmail account as your e-mail address. |
