All about e-mail spam

While many Internet users have resigned themselves to the fact that e-mail spam is here to stay, there is nothing more annoying than logging in to check your e-mail and downloading or sifting through tens or hundreds (or even thousands) of unwanted e-mail advertising for some product sent directly to your e-mail address.

E-mail spam numbers have been on the rise because e-mail spam is a cheap way to garner a few sales. For the solicitor, the costs associated with spamming are minimal. All they need is time and enough money for an Internet connection and lists of e-mail addresses.

more than filters there are a number of other ways to get rid of spam . One such action is to use a disposable email address when you need to give out an email address online. Rather than supplying your real email address, you provide an on-the-fly disposable email address that is only used for that particular site. Emails that the site sends to you are then automatically re-routed to your real address.
