1.  Don't post your email in online message forums, online classifieds or websites.\n2.  If you have a website, doj't list your email.  Tell the webmaster to put an online form on the website as a means of contacting you.\n3.  Never reply to junk mail or click on the unsubsribe link to junk mail.\n4.  Don't respond to online ads offering you a free Wal Mart Card, IPOD, etc in return for completing an online survey.\n5.  Many spammers guess at common emails at known domain names, such as info@www.hello.com.  Make your email harder to guess.

Your address may be added a lot of ways:\n\n-When you post your email address anywhere on the Internet, special software can be used to "crawl" the web pages in search of email addresses and collect them when found\n-Chain letters ("if you send this to 11 friends, Outback Steakhouse will send you a check"; or "send this to everyone you know because I want to warn you about a new virus"  OR any of those emails that get forwarded over and over again) are good sources of email addresses. Eventually they get forwarded to a spammer, either accidentally or on purpose, and it's very easy to just scroll through and collect the addresses (plus they all work)\n-Random "guesses" where a spammer will just start combining common user names with common domain names (joesmith@yahoo.com will get a lot more spam than 22joesmith187@yahoo.com)\n-certain viruses will collect email addresses from the pc's that they infect--- any email address stored in an address book, document, cached web site, etc will be sent back to the spammer\n-and most of the time for UNSOLICITED mail, clicking Unsubscribe just confirms to the spammers that your email address is active!

In Yahoo mail you can block the spammer's email address.  You'll never see the emails because they just get bounced back to the sender.  I believe you can block up to 500  addresses.  But having them go to your bulk folder is a good thing.  That just means the spam filters are working  :-)  You can  delete any addresses you don't recognize without reading them. If you DO recognize an address you can always open it, read it, and click the "this is not spam" button.

Spammers can change the reply-to and from lines of e-mail to try to hide their tracks but the IP number if you view the full headers of the e-mail will be of the track the e-mail took.  Just delete these messages and pay them no mind.  No one can stop spammm, they try.  If you think the mail came from your account, then change your password to something like "xym13r12y"

First off, just moving from my old email provider to Yahoo! Mail has dramatically dropped my spam level.  It's not perfect, but it's a good start.\n\nAlso, with Yahoo! Mail you can set up the AddressGuard feature.. it lets you create little single-use addresses that deliver to your regular account, but you can delete them without turning off your "main" address.  \n\nWhen a site I don't really trust asks for my email address, I give them an AddressGuard address.  If I start getting spam on that bogus AddressGuard address, first I know that's a pro-spam company (and they loose my future business) and second, I turn off that AddressGuard address.  Bada-bing.

Create an email account and don't ever ever ever give that email to any website only to your family and friends/work.\n\nCreate another email address for when you need to enter addresses online.\n\nThis is the best way to stop spam in your main email account.

First thing..Spammer pick the email addresses from webpages.\n1. Avoid posting your mail on pages which discloses it. \n2. If it is impossible to avoid the display of your mail id use javascript or  use emailid-images (like captcha) to put.\n3. Use a proper mail filter on server side. Client side filters are weak.\n4. Use thunderbird instead of Microsoft Outlook. I know outlook sucks when it comes to security.

Download a little program called Mailwasher. When you have mailwasher on your system set it up to your account that is getting hit with spam. After you have done all that check your mail. Also in the program you can delete any e-mails before they are sent to your mail program. Click on the link below to learn more about this cool little program and there is also the free download on that site.  Good Luck...

Here's a web site where you can plug in your email address and it will create the Javascript code that you can just copy and paste into your site.  \n\nYour email address will look normal and unprotected when you browse the page, but the spam harvesters won't be able to capture it.  I've used it alot and it works great.  It has already cut down on my spam.
