What is Spam?

Spamming is the use of any electronic communications medium to send unsolicited messages in bulk. In the popular eye, the most common form of spam is that delivered in e-mail as a form of commercial advertising. However, over the short history of electronic media, people have done things comparable to spamming for many purposes other than the commercial, and in many media other than e-mail. In this article and those related, the term spamming is used broadly to refer to all of these behaviors, regardless of medium and commercial intent.

What is Spam Filter? A mail filter is a piece of software which takes an input of an email message.For its output, it might pass the message through unchanged for delivery to the user's mailbox, it might redirect the message for delivery elsewhere, or it might even throw the message away. Some mail filters are able to edit messages during processing.

Common uses for mail filters include removal of spam and of computer viruses.Mail filters have varying degrees of configurability. Sometimes they make decisions based on matching a regular expression. Othertimes, keywords in the message body are used, or perhaps the email address of the sender of the message.

8 Spam Safety Tips
Spam Safety Tips
Spam can be extremely frustrating to some individuals while others don’t seem to be bothered by it. If you are one many trying to reduce the amount of Spam in your inbox, the following guidelines can help.


Encrypt email addresses

When you first create your email address, come up with a combination of letters and numbers that are cryptic in nature—something you couldn’t find in a dictionary. For example, instead of using sally, or sally1, or sallysmith, choose: s18all56y. This number/letter combination is inconvenient for humans to remember but it’s provides more of a challenge for the spammer’s programs to randomly send Spam to your email address.


Use Fake email addresses
On many websites, you are required to enter an email address into a standard form before you can proceed through the website. If you don’t feel comfortable giving out your email address to the particular website, leave a fake email address.


Guard your email addresses
Treat your email address the same way you do most of your personal information. Don’t give it out to anyone you don’t trust. If you are not sure you can trust a particular website, read their privacy policy to see what they will do with your email address.


Don't open Spam

If the Spam is HTML (one of those attractive graphic emails) and you open it, the graphic is pulled from the spammer's server. Your computer informs the spammer that your email address is in use.



Don't Reply
Remember those pesky telemarketers or the unrelenting door-to-door salesman? Once you answer the telephone or door, they know you are home and are a challenge to get rid of. The same is true of spammers. Once you reply to a Spam email, you have just confirmed for the spammer the legitimacy of your email address.


Don’t post your email address
Once your email address has been placed on a website (personal or corporate) or entered into an online guest book, newsgroup, contact list, ezine, chat room, or a host of other online activities, you have just invited a spammer to take your email address. Spammers “harvest” your emails through programs called spiders, crawlers, and bots. These programs scour the web for email addresses to be used in the spammers future email campaigns.


Opt out
When you are purchasing something online or signing up for a service or promotion, be sure to opt-out on any additional services or promotions you don’t want cluttering your inbox.


Don’t unsubscribe
Honorable marketers will unsubscribe your email address if you request it, but distinguishing between legitimate companies and those who are not is a challenge. Check their privacy policy and complaint procedures. Submitting and unsubscribe request can be used against you—your email address may be confirmed by or sold to spammers. When this happens, your Spam will increase when you thought you’d submitted an unsubscribe request.


Use a Spam filter
No matter how thorough your Spam prevention measures, you will still receive Spam-accept this reality. Even though the perfect Spam filter doesn't exist, there are many good Spam filters in the marketplace that can help reduce the Spam you receive.
