Junk e-mail

 Upload an article for publishing

Who is affected?Everyone. The main problem is not only that junk emails fill up your space but they also waste your time. You spend a lot of time evaluating emails for their content, complaining about receiving unwanted emails that you may have to employ a dedicated person/s for this task. Often when you follow the removal procedure, you realise that the link to do so doesn't function. People often have mails forwarded to another address and ask to be removed from the forwarded address, whilst another one is on the sender's file.
What can one do about it?
Contact the police, write to the web master of the Internet service provider, which hosts the email provision, e.g. hotmail, BT, any ISP, providing email services, can be contact, make them aware that their email services if being used for illegal junk mailing and ask them to stop their customer from doing it. Many email software now include automatic junk email filters, but still quote a lot still gets through. Have a good anti virus software, scanning all incoming emails for threats enabling you to set it to delete all potential threats immediately. Have an email software enabling you to reject emails not send to an enabled email address. Complain to the sender of the email, ask them to take you off their mailing list. One possibility is not do download any emails onto your computer but as a rule leave emails on a web server, where you access them via a log in and select the ones you want from the title and delete all the 
    others and then download the ones you want via pop3, after you deleted all the junk. Delete any email not complying with a distinct email title. 
How its done
Fraudsters clone email addresses with certain software and send an email apparently coming from a genuine sender, we realise when someone has abused our name when we get undeliverable email notifications for emails we never sent. Email pranksters send an email to a company and use 1000s of aliases and send an email to each one of them. Email titles use variations of standard ban words, so they go through the filters. There should be stricter legislation on email services providers preventing the misuse of their services in this manner. Write to your MP about this.
