Eversince I created DigitalFilipino.com, nearly five years ago, I find it interesting to witness how much spam has grown through time. Nearly 90% of the emails I received per day is spam.
For the newbie, here are some suggestions on how you can prevent the same predicament I went through.
Have several email addresses
In order to promote my website, I sign a lot of guestbooks and joined discussion group using my primary email address, [email protected]. As a result, this address became so exposed to email harvesting software that result to my current predicament.
Today, I have four email addresses. I use [email protected] and [email protected] as a public address. Yahoo and Gmail offers great spam filtering service that I have been able to take advantage of. Two more email addresses for private transactions between DigitalFilipino.com club members and clients.
Anti-spam tools
There are several anti-spam tools available today. So far, I’m using 0spam to block most of the spams I get in my business email address.
There are also several anti-spam server tools that you can check out for Windows. This sample chapter from the book – Anti-Spam Toolkit can be of further information to you.
