The massages that users get from sender that is not in their address list, usually advertising mails, are known as spam massages. However, sometimes they are annoying and don’t want to get spam at all, but don’t know how to prevent spam. It is explained in the section below. There are two ways how to prevent spam: to stop them to get your mail address and to install special anti-spam program. Anyway, as there are different types of spam massages, there are different varieties of how to prevent spam massages.
Harvested address spam is a type of spam that users get by spammers, who check websites and get the email from some site. These spammers collect emails from web sites, and once they get the address they never give up from sending emails to that address. There is a way to find out whether your email address is published on the internet. Just go to Google search engine and type your address in the search box. However, the only solution how to prevent spam of this type is to change the email address, or get some anti-spam program.
Another type of spam is virus spam. This is a virus that someone else got, but it sends email to every user in his address. However, the address of the spam is not the address of the user of the infected computer. The spam gets another address for sending. It is in vain to send reply to these types of massage spam, in order to warn that he’s got a virus. There is no way how to prevent spam of this type. Only a spam filter (anti-spam program) can help in further receiving this type of spam.
Domain name spam is spam that receives everyone who has some generic words in their email, such as info@; mail@; contact@; home@ and so on. There are spammers that send mails to every domain on the internet with such generic word in the mail. Many people ask how to prevent spam of this type. It can be prevented only by changing the generic word of the mail, or do not choose such generic word for an email.
There are so many different types of spam massages. People often ask how to prevent spam once and for always. There are anti-spam software programs, which detect spam massages. The choice is large, so probably you will need some further advice. Feel free to ask.
