DIY Tips for a Spam-Free Inbox

Whether we like it or not, spam is a part of our digital lives. Personally I hate spam in my inbox. Guy Roberts, anti-spam research manager, McAfee, Inc. has some tips to help you avoid getting more spam with his DIY Tips for a Spam-Free Inbox. Some of the tips include …

1. Never respond to spam. If you reply, even to request removing your e-mail address from the mailing list, you are confirming that your e-mail address is valid and that the spam has been successfully delivered to your inbox. Lists of confirmed e-mail addresses are more valuable to spammers than unconfirmed lists, and are frequently bought and sold by spammers.
2. When filling out Web forms, check the site’s privacy policy to ensure it will not be sold or passed on to other companies. There may be a checkbox to opt out of third party mailings.
