Besides cluttering one`s mail boxes, they could also be dangerous. Some are even fraudulent in that they steal computer/network information.
Interestingly, spam is something that can be very easily avoided/controlled using the following guidelines:
1. Be careful when entering your address. When some sites ask for your e-mails, you should be absolutely certain that the site is a safe one before providing it.
2. Don`t expose your address or release your address recklessly in a discussion forum. Addresses posted in a public location like open discussion forum are easily accessed by spammers.
3. If you receive a lot of mail advertisement, just un-subscribe from them. The way you do it is to click on the "unsubscribe" link in the mail. Most of the time, this link is written in tiny characters and not made obvious. Look out for it.
4. If you`re under attack from anonymous solicitation, set your spam filter to block the sender`s addresses and make sure you report as spam and/ or move those mails to the spam folder.
STEPS TO BLOCK SPAM SENDER`S ADDRESSES:
- Highlight the Mail
- Click Action Menu
- Select Junk E-mail
- Select Add sender to blocked sender list
