In June I wrote about some spam-fighting strategies. Recently, Tech Soup published Things You Can Do to Prevent Spam, which covered many of the same approaches that I wrote about, but also had several other good ideas. You can read their succinct listing for the details, but the strategies that they list that go beyond my article are these:
- Don't forward an email from someone you don't know to a list of people.
- Before you join a list, make sure the list owner or Web master will not sell your address.
- Use a complicated email username.
- If your organization has an IT department, forward any spam that gets through to it.
- Make sure your privacy settings are set so you don't receive marketing from other sites in your AOL and Yahoo profiles.
- Never use your email address as your screen name in chat rooms.
There is also a discussion list below the Tech Soup article where users write about additional experiences and insights.
