What is spam ?
To indiscriminately send unsolicited, unwanted, irrelevant, or inappropriate messages, especially commercial advertising in mass quantities. Noun: electronic “junk mail”.
To avoid spam
Good ways to avoid spam are:
* Only give your email address to trusted friends.-
- Do not reveal your Email ID to unknown person
- Don’t publish your email address more widely than necessary. You can use a comments form on your web pages.
* Don’t open email messages that are from people you don’t know if you don’t know why the email was sent to you.
* If you do open a spam message, don’t reply to it, and don’t click on any links in it.
- if by mistake you open the spam message do not respond to it.
* Don’t ever buy anything from a spammer, the only reason spam exists is that it gets people to spread there network
* Most spam email comes with an invitation to ‘remove’ yourself from the list. Don’t believe it! These almost always bounce, and apparently might also be used to harvest new addresses.
* Use spam filters
