Is Junk Email or Spam Filling your Mailbox?

Junk Mails or Spam are unwanted e-mail sent by spammers or advertisers. At one time these mails are sent with identical messages to numerous email IDs.

These e-mails in your mail box are the best medium to drive advertising for anything, for other sites or direct selling. Also, these mails are the most common medium to infect your PC with Virus and Worms. Hence, it’s always recommended to open only mails from known addresses. Also, never open any attachments without a Virus Scan.

To avoid these mails, the following measures can be taken:

1. Do not open Junk Mails. Delete them unread.
2. Open the mail while Internet Connection is closed if you feel anything could be wrong with the e-mail.
3. Do not reply to Junk / Spam Mails.
4. Do not complain about Junk mails as it confirms your e-mail address to the spammer.
5. Do not sign up at any unknown website/company. Do not enter/share your e-mail ID at any unknown web site.
6. Stop auto response mail generation.
7. Do not subscribe to any newsletters unless from a certified/known site.

Spam is the cheapest way for commercial advertising. It forces the user to read the advertise being sent to him by flooding the mail box with the same mail. Once the user reports the spam, his e-mail ID is confirmed to exist and then further on he would receive more of these mails. Spammers continue to send these bulk mails and there is nothing much that can be done against them. The same is a loss for the Internet Service Providers as they have to make available extra capacities to cope with this overflow of mails. Spam eats up a lot of network bandwidth.

There is no solution really available to spam/junk mails. There are various activities and protests against the same and for now the solution that is practiced is to report the spammer/spam to the network/Internet service provider.
