 Stop Getting Spam 

Unless your ISPs start taking drastic action, there is not much we can do to stop the volume of SPAM moving around the planet. There are a couple of things you can do to lesson your load.

Use a filter program.

Mailwasher is a free to use program, available at www.mailwasher.net

Mailwasher will run at your ISP, can automatically detect blacklisted emails and allow you to delete them BEFORE they are downloaded to your PC, saving you precious download time and reducing the risk of virus infection.

Hide your Email address

You get lots of junk emails because your email is easy to find on the net. Programs are running all the time to look for email addresses on web sites. They are called 'bots'. Because they are robots we can have a go at fooling them. On your web site is something like: email us at Fred@Bloggs.com. In the html behind your page there is code:

<a href="mailto:Fred@Bloggs.com">Fred@Bloggs.com</a>

The bot is looking for the @ sign, and any href. We can use Javascript to fool the bot. Replace the line above with:

The bot will have a hard time working out the email address from this.
