Re:How do I minimize spam? - 2006/02/16 21:21
Unsolicited e-mail (spam) is a serious problem for e-mail users. It has been estimated that half of all e-mail traffic is now unsolicited, and the number is growing.
E-mail from nxtConcepts and partners comes with industry-leading spam protection. All incoming e-mails are screened, based on a number of search criteria, to detect and delete unwanted spam messages before they get to your inbox. When mass unsolicited e-mails are sent, they are detected almost instantly by the network and stopped before they reach your e-mailbox. we have a 99.9999% accuracy rate.
Even with leading spam detection, there is no foolproof way to prevent spam. There are a few steps you can take to avoid spam:
-Avoid posting your e-mail address in a public place (if you need to provide you can always use the "dot " instead of the actual "."
-Read privacy information carefully when completing online forms that request your e-mail address, and exercise your choice
-Use multiple e-mail addresses
-Do not open or reply to e-mails from unknown addresses and never open attachments unless you the person who sent it
-Never click on a link from within a spam e-mail message, even to request “removal” from their mailing list, as this verifies your e-mail address as valid and will increase the amount of spam you receive
-Turn off your e-mail client's ability to “preview” e-mail messages – spam e-mail messages often have links embedded that report back to a Web server as soon as you preview the message
If you want to allow visitors to your Web site to contact you, provide an online form, and put the “send to” e-mail address in the form processing script rather than the HTML of the form itself.
