Anti Spam Filters - Stopping spam
How do I Control Spam?
For more information on control on
spam and start spam filtering, along with
detailed instructions and subsequent
links on how to set it up and control
spam : Select the appropriate tag for
spam control in your e-mail client. In
the first section you find tutorials and
tips. Control Spam (Part 1): File
and ignore spam emails. Now that you've got your
addresses set up, you need a system to
manage them. AOL makes it easy to
control spam. Simply log on under your
various screen names to check your mail
accounts. Toggle among them using the
Switch Screen Name command on the Sign
Off menu. If you work with your own
email program, look for the link above,
and select your email program.
If you use an ISP, the process is a
little different. Instead of switching
screen names, you set up different
spam control filters for spam folders for each of
your ISP addresses. Then you can set
your e-mail software to control, detect
and filter spam and
to file your e-mail automatically
according to addresses you specify.
Direct the mail from your shopping and
newsletter account, say, into one
folder, and the mail from your spam
account into another folder. After that,
let the rest of your mail come to your
inbox. Check (or ignore) the other
folders at your leisure.
Even if you have only one e-mail address
to control spam, you can still filter
your messages the same way. AOL's Mail
Controls let you accept e-mail from
certain addresses but block all others
(go to keyword Spam). For instructions
on how to automatically control spam and
file e-mail in Outlook, visit "Organize
Outlook E-Mail", go to the
navigating bar for a tutorial on how to
start spam prevention and deletion. Spam
removal programs are not expensive, some
are free for home users. |
