My name is cassiem0221 so anytime I sign anything that way it puts me in spam... and why you might be asking?.... cASSiem0221 ... so I'm filtered as a dirty word! Anyhow, I don't think we'll ever see a resolution for spam. its never ending and now people can create "disposable" emails where they can just send people whatever they want and a few days later the email account is GONE...

I seem to get more 'junk' from people I know than I do spam. Or at least it seems that way. I check my email on a daily basis, so I keep on top of the spam pretty well, but I have tried again and again to ask people not to send the the same things over and over, but some people just don't listen. I would hate to have to tell them to stop emailing me altogether, but I'm fast reaching that point. I do not like the same stupid emails that I get again and again and agian. It is even more annoying than the spam to me. I agree with attagirl. I seem to get more ‘junk’ from people I know than I do spam. Or at least it seems that way.

I though have to say that I have had people I know send me junk that I really do not want, but have no problem telling me to stop.

It rarely fails, no matter how many spammers seem to target my address. Today, for example, I login and there's 34 e-mails in my inbox and 283 in my spam folder, all deleted with the simple click of a button.

I use a couple myself. It works fine so long as you don't forget your usernames and passwords. There's no perfect way to be rid of spam. I just try to be careful where I leave my email address when visiting sites. They can't email you if they don't know your address. Separate email addresses is a good advice. I use a couple myself.

I have got several accounts which i do not use frequently. But still i wonder how spammers get my account and send mails to me. How does that happen? When my mail id is not known to anyone, how do i get mails? I always have a doubt. I have got several accounts which i do not use frequently.

Spam is just annoying and once you beginning getting it in your mailbox spam filters really cannot keep them away all the time. I've found out that the secret to avoiding spam is to have a separate email address that is only given out to people I know and I never use that address online. I have several other addresses with I use for different purposes online and which I don't mind having spam into. Very interesting article.

I get a lot like that too. It does get tiring, trying to work through it all, especially when you need to spend your time online doing more lucrative things. I agree with that.

So yeah, using non-existent words would work quite well. Dictionary attacks seem to work, my old addy got no spam at all, but my current one gets quite a good bit of it.
