Spam Tips and Tricks

Spam is considered to be any email that is sent to you which you have not requested and do not want to recieve. It may be an advertisement for a product or service, or a newsletter for a business. Whatever it is, the important point is that you're getting it and you don't want to be.

The first thing we have to realize is that email spam is a fact of life. Just like telemarketer calls at home and credit card offers in the mail, you're bound to eventually get junk mail in your email. With this said, there are some things you can do to reduce the amount of junk mail you recieve and how you have to deal with it.
