Recently, I have been getting hundreds of unwanted e-mails in my
junk mail.
I tried to prevent them from coming by sending them to senders
blocked list.
Some of them go to the sender's blocked list others cannot be moved
and has
to be deleted. Those sent to sender's blocked list and those deleted
continue
to come to my junk mail.
Please advise how these can be stopped permanently from coming to my
e-mail
address; (e-mail address removed).
Only spam-ignorant users try using a blacklist of e-mail addresses to
eliminate spam. Spammers don't use their own e-mail address.
Spammers change their bogus e-mail address everytime they spew the
crap.
If you want to eliminate spam, get some anti-spam software. SpamPal
is free.
Want to explain the reason why you don't munge your e-mail address and
prefer to announce it to spambots that roam the newsgroups looking for
e-mail addresses to harvest? Gee, big surprise that you get lots of
spam. You are divulging it everywhere rather than protecting it.
Thankfully only few spambots bother with the time to download the
bodies of Usenet posts. The vast majority just download the headers
(and your e-mail address isn't there in your post). If you don't
guard your e-mail address then expect to get lots of spam.
Use aliases to protect your true e-mail address when having to divulge
a legitimate e-mail address to unknown or untrusted recipients (see
www.sneakemail.com).
Use disposable e-mail addresses if you want them around for awhile but
otherwise will eventually dispose of them (trashmail.net, hotmail,
yahoo mail).
Munge your e-mail address. First munge the domain so that it does not
match on any registered domain. That way, the spammer's mail server
can't even begin to send their crap because there will be no receiving
mail host to connect to. See
