Protect your e-mail from spam

The following methods can be used to combat email spam
.
1. Use spam filters for your email account. If you‘re using email services like
Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc. then spam filters are used by default. Each Spam
filter has it‘s algorithm to detect spam emails and will automatically move
them to SPAM folder. This keeps your inbox free from spam. However some
spam emails become successful to make their way into the inbox by
successfully bypassing the filters.

2. Do not post your email address in public forums, user comments and chatrooms.
Give your email address only to trustworthy websites while signing up
for newsletters.

3. While taking up online surveys and filling up feedback forms, it is better not
to give your personal email address. Instead signup for a dummy email
account and use this for surveys and feedback forms.

4. While posting your contact email address on your website use this format:
emailaddress [at] mysite.com instead of emailaddress@mysite.com. This
protects your email address from being indexed by spam bots.
