tips to reduce amount of spam

[Guest guest]

Hi,

There was a good article on spam in today's paper. Here are the tips

they gave to reduce it:

1. Make sure your ISP has a strong spam blocking system.

2. Don't open email from an unfamiliar sender. Delete unwanted mail.

3. Don't reply to unfamiliar mail or unsubscribe. A reply confirms

your email address to spammers.

4. Report suspected spam to your ISP, which can add the sender to

it's filtering system.

5. Be very stingy with your email address. Don't provide on warranty

cards or other consumer forms. Never post it on user groups like

this.

6. Reoprt unwanted commercial mail in Texas via email

7. Remove your name from commercial direct-mail lists at www.e-

mps.org
