Everbody hates spam, I'm sure spammers hate getting spam, but continue to hand. Why? Because it is still effective. Believe it or not, many of us still click on the link or follow up with the spam. While we will continue to do so, be spam. If everyone understood and did not mind is the spam, the spammers finally quit because it gives them real money to send e-mail costs. It 'hardto quantify what the cost of the deployment of one, two or fifty e-mail is, but 1 million and 5 million emails certainly has costs that can not be neglected. When you start payback is so small that spammers can not live well, find something else to do. That day will come, and I can not wait to do it.

May, in the meantime, what we do about it. Well, I'm not saying that there is a perfect solution which will stop all spam, but what I tell you,that there is a way to alleviate the problem and manage effectively using the 7 steps outlined below.

Step 1: Get your own domain name

Fighting spam effectively always begins with your domain name. For example, if the name was Andy Williams, you mentioned buying a andywilliams.com domain name, which of course already in possession of the famous singer. This has some unique advantages over the use of a domain name particular ISP or a webmail service like Hotmail orGmail. Also has some minor glitches. Let's get this.

A great advantage is to control the entire e-mail. You could e-mail, andy@andywilliams.com which info@andywilliams.com, sales@andywilliams.com and so on. This is in sharp contract with an ISP assigned names like andywilliams@comcast.net. If you want another, you should open another account or pay extra for each additional ISP assigned IP address. If I ever decided to change ISP, youlose that e-mail and the need to start using a new, and learn more about communicating with each – a very confusing.

Many work on this problem, you can use a Hotmail, Yahoo Mail or Gmail, which is nowhere as long as you have Internet access. This type of email account will definitely have a place in your e-mail tool chest, but not as your main personal email address is sufficient. One reason for this is that they have access to your e-mailMessages and address books when you're not online, how long a flight. Anotehr disadvantage is that it allows you to export the address books online portability very tedious.

I prefer to have their own domain name, which I call my permanent email address. I will always be this e-mail until I renew the domain names each year. The cost of registering a domain name from $ 4 to $ 8 U.S. per year, for the most common. This is a small price to pay for the benefitsit conveys.

The only slight drawback company domain name is to manage yourself, or someone, are for you. This, in my opinion, far outweigh the benefits listed above.

Step 2: Create private e-mail

A private e-mail to anyone, but he knows the inner circle. Each person who will be your personal e-mail address of someone you want to trust, and e-mail.

Create a privateE-mail for each person who comes to have in order to receive messages. It could, and 5 other members of your family or with 12 employees working for you. This part is pretty simple: Your E-Mail Login Control Panel and create new accounts for each e-mail will be used to e-mail inbox.

Step 3: Create public addresses as aliases

A public e-mail is generally known to the general public. May be specificandyw@andywilliams.com or generic, as receptionist@andywilliams.com.

A public e-mail has been created as an alias e-mail. An e-mail alias is an email address, but an address, a real e-mail will be forwarded. For example, the installation program receptionist@andywilliams.com as an alias that redirects mary@andywilliams.com. If some of an email sent to receptionist@andywilliams.com, eventually entering Mary. If you change receptionist, just change the redirect fora very elegant solution. You can then publish these public e-mail address on a website, a brochure advertising printing, business cards, etc., without having to bring your e-mail, and without major changes, if Mary is out and a new reception set. This is a huge advantage and keeps your privacy and that of others has been created for the e-mail.

How does this help with spam, you ask? Through the use of e-mail aliases in an intelligent manner, it couldeasily close any spam starts coming in, we examine how this could happen.

Step 4: Set the default or catchall email address

Your e-mail panel is a so-called "default address" or is sometimes referred to as "catch-all". This is a valid e-mail, visit all the e-mail open. If you use this to your e-mail address, for example, receive all e-mail address@ Andywilliams.com includes these sales@andywilliams.com, joe@andywilliams.com, etc. andrew@andywilliams.com This is the secret to combat spam.

Step # 5: Creating specific named public e-mail as with the requirements

If you are forced to register on a Web site where you want to get some information, there are usually required a valid e-mail. Well guess what ', you now have an unlimited supply of valid e-mail. I usually use a certain formatwhen registering on Web sites – is is@andywilliams.com. So, if I am registered on a website http://www.get-rich-quick.com, I have my get-rich-quick@andywilliams.com e-mail address. If the site sends me an e-mail, is sent to my personal e-mail, or whatever the default or catch-all address is.

Step # 6: send spam back to where he came from, if possible,

Here's the real bonus comes when you then start to receive spamaddressed to none other than get-rich-quick@andywilliams.com, simply create an alias email get-rich-quick@andywilliams.com and redirect e-mail, exactly where did you receive as George @ rick – quick.com Bush. You will never be another e-mail from all visitors to this e-mail again. That's cool and is my favorite part. Keep in mind that spammers usually an e-mail from an address that is not theirs, so if you type an address likenoreply@get-rick-quick.com, then you should redirect somewhere else, such as a Hotmail address that the installation program for the purpose of routing. Please exercise some discretion here because spammers often use e-mail addresses of real people and we do not want these innocent people always redirected email.

Step 7: Be diligent in the ongoing management of your domain

If you do this carefully, for each site, where you will be through the identification of the name of the website, youquickly know which sites sell e-mail addresses, and what does not honor their promise to share your information. During all this time, no one knows your personal inner circle of your private e-mail.

A practical example in my case: I use a specific e-mail alias for my Paypal account that nobody knows, but Paypal. I never get spam e-mail to this address, but I have hundreds of spam e-mail to other e-mail alias that I have already received. Allsuch e-mail to be from Paypal and address me as "Dear PayPal Valued members" or something like that, he warned me that my account is closed or suspended if I click on the link and update data of my credit card.

I hope I have given some food for thought, as the growing problem of spam protection to get a little 'initiative and to manage your domain name. The further advantage is that you now have a permanent e-mailNo matter where you live or which ISP you use to connect to the Internet.
