A spam filtering service is one of many ways that you can get spam to stop infiltrating your mailbox. Here are some easy tips on how you can further avoid spam aside from a spam filtering service.

First is getting a disposable e-mail address. You can actually disable the e-mail address that has received spam. In this way, all the mail will bounce back to the sender.

When you need to give out your e-mail address on website such as a forum, do not type out the entire thing. Some people spell out the entire e-mail address including the periods or dashes that are in the e-mail address so that this will not be picked up by companies that send spam.

Devising an e-mail address is also an important consideration. Spam filtering devices are effective most of the time but not altogether foolproof. Try to make your e-mail address as long as possible and with numerals and an underscore in it. The more complicated the e-mail address, the more difficult it will be for spammers to find it.

If the email address consists of more than one word, it would also be better. E-mail addresses with word segments are definitely harder to spam than those with just one word. Spam for exchange servers are more of a challenge to place under control. A spam filtering service is definitely recommended for these instances.

Company e-mail addresses receiving spam should be looked into since most company information and resources are confidential. Because of the sensitive nature of the information being exchanged, company e-mail addresses should be free of spam.

Remember that if you do not know who the sender is, then it might be spam that you are receiving. You should be especially wary of opening attachments from senders that you do not know since these could actually be viruses that could enter your operating system.
