Stop Spam storms
Friday 14th, November 2008
Hi Friends !

I wish to address to one of the issues which people are facing today on internet . This is the storming of their mail boxes by spams . Inspite of filters / security incorporated some mails escape through these filters .These consume space of our mailbox if left undeleted and these storming also consumes the bandwidth which could have been used for better purposes.

If we try to be a little more alert we can try to reduce these storming of spams . For some of them who may be new to this word , let me give a brief introduction .

A SPAM Email is an unsolicited commercial email, in other words, an email trying to sell you something which you haven't requested.

How to stop this ? To stop these SPAM mails you should know from where they get our addresses .

Common ways are through third party websites , forums , discussion boards .

Like you try not to give your personal phone number on such sites , restrict yourself in giving your email id until and unless necessary .

Secondly , never reply to any SPAM mails . This is the golden rule .

Last but not the least , take some time and report spams .

Hope you find this article useful and post your valuable recommendations !

Cheers

Adarsh.S.
