Prevent harassment letters

You join an online team, group, forum or member of a website, of course you have to provide a mail address . But some 'bad' websites often take advantage of this to spam, the advertisement. Consequently, your mail box is often clogged with spam. What should I do?

First of all, check the operation to remove your mail address from the mailing list that is required by that forum, organization or website, to avoid rushing to conclude that they are 'bad' websites. The yahoo group, please remove your name from the group member. News forums or websites often don't just check the forum 'receive newsletters or announcements' line in the personal account information section.

If you're sure you've done the right thing and still get harassed, give the email address you don't want to receive mail to the spam list, filtered mail and anti-spam programs. Specifically how to proceed as follows:

Yahoo Mail

Log in to Yahoo inbox, go to Options (located on the right side on the screen slightly). Turn on Spam guard mode by clicking Spam Protection in Mail Option in three steps:

First step , start Spam Guard . Determine what Spam Guard will do when it comes to spam. Yahoo Mail gives you two options: copy Spam mail into Bulk folder or delete it immediately. Bulk mail will last 30 days before being deleted (by default).

The second step is to identify the action that follows when you use the Mark Spam or Not Spam function when you want to determine if a message is spam. When you select Mark Spam , the program will automatically add the sender's email address you just marked into the list of addresses blocks and will act as you intended in step 1 every time you see a message with the address in it. list addresses blocks . Not Spam will send mail in Bulk to Inbox .

The third step is to determine whether you want to prevent the display of images. This is merely a security reason.

After enabling Spam Guard , you can go to ' block addresses ' in Mail Option to add a list of mail addresses that you do not want to receive or can use the Mark Spam function. So you're out of trouble.

In Gmail

Also log into Gmail, go to Settings , go to Filter and click Create new fillter . This filtering tool is based on five characteristics of mail sent to: From , To , Subject , Has the words , Doesn't have . If you see a message with a feature in the filter, that message will be in the list and follow the actions you will set. To determine which actions to take with the message in the filter, continue to click Next , and select the operation Skip the Inbox (put in Spam), Star it (type), Apply the Label (post on the label), Forward to (forward the message to some mail address), Delete it (delete).

So you just need to create a filter (fillter) with the From line as the email address of the person you do not want to receive and then select the action to be deleted, then you will never see that person's mail in your inbox.

You can also use the Report Spam function in Inbox to identify messages as spam and not to receive them in subsequent times. Gmail also has a spam filter that is constantly updated with spam distribution addresses.

In mail Client such as Outlook Express (OE) or Microsoft Outlook (MO).

Rule: Use Message Rule to block all messages with addresses from . set as follows:

In MO, go to Tools -> Rules and Alerts -> New Rules -> select Start From A blank Rule and select C heck message when instead arrive -> Next -> mark From People or distribution list and click on People or distribution list In the box below, continue typing the email address you want to block into the From -> Ok line and click on Next to select the Deleted it line . If you want to have an exclusion in your mail filtering rule, click next and select the condition to exclude (ie, mail also from that address, but one more condition is not in the filtered list). Click Finish if you think it's enough.

So you will never be bothered by the mail at the address above.

Similarly, in OE, go to Tools -> Message Rules and follow the same steps as above.

One thing to note is that when you use a mail client, you download mail from a mail server. That means that in fact your mailbox still receives these 'junk mail', but you don't download it to your computer. The most effective way to block Mail spam is to set up filters right from the server. This requires your company's IT department intervention.

Wish you success and get rid of troubles.
