Spam : also known as junk email or unsolicited bulk email
Tips for avoiding spam :
1. Check the persons name, look at the time it was sent and look at the file size
2. Try not to post your email in a public forum and if you have to spell it out
Example : naoma dot doriguzzi at yahoo dotcom
3. Report spam : Before you delete your spam, forward your spam to: [email protected] as this is the Spam box for FTC (Federal Trade Commission). Mail sent to this box is investigated. If it is indeed spam, the original sender can be charged $500 per email. The more mail they get from different users but same spammer, the more it’s likely to be investigated.
4. Use separate email address : one for personal, one for entertainment, etc..
Understand CAN-SPAM
The CAN-SPAM act was enacted in 2003 and 2008. This law applies to all comercial emails.
- Send your e-mail to permission-based lists only.
- Provide a way for your list subscribers to opt out permanently.
- Keep your opt-out process simple and don’t charge money or ask for additional information to opt out.
- Don’t pay people or give them incentives to forward your e-mails.
- Make sure your e-mail includes your physical address (a PO Box is okay)
- Don’t mislead your audience with your From line or e-mail address.
- Make sure your e-mail Subject line is honest about your content.
- Make sure your e-mail clearly states that the e-mail is a solicitation unless you have affirmative consent.
- Learn the law before sending any commercial e-mail; use an attorney.
