There is too much spam coming to my inbox. Even when I register them as spam. What can I do about this?

Messages from the same spam source keep coming back. Only about half the spam goes directly to the spam box. Sometimes regular e-mails land in the spam box as well. What can I do to improve the spam filter?There is too much spam coming to my inbox. Even when I register them as spam. What can I do about this?
There has been a huge increase in spam lately. I have started to use a free programme Mail Washer rated 5 out of 5 by consumeractive magazine. It's worth a try to see if it helps you. It's not perfect but it certainly helps me. Download from http://www.mailwasher.net
At the risk of being banned by self interested parties, the volume of spam has dropped recently folllowing action by service providers to stop the spammers. In my personal experience, a daily total of around 200 has dropped to around 20.



Spammers are like school bullies. Once they pick up your email address, they will never stop. Service providers, mail filters and law enforcement can make it more difficult for them. However, until banks block the spammers funds, the bullies will keep coming back for your dinner money.



If you simply block the spam, then the spammers will find a way around your filters. Much better to report the spam. Better still would be a filter provider that has an option to report the spam to law enforcement! Look for somebody like spamcop or knujon for further info. My personal preference is for knujon which has a thunderbird add-on to make reporting easier. Your choice will depend on your mail program.



Following the major setback for the spammiest spammers, spam fighters are waiting for the recovery. Though service providers have been shamed into withdrawing their services, law enforcement still fails to jail the criminals. If you have received spam recently, then brace yourself for a flood once the spammers recover.



The question is then "What can an individual do to stop being bullied by the spammers?" The only answer I can give is to move house. Get yourself a service provider who has disposable email addresses such as Yahoo. Then you can give out separate email addresses to web pages, friends, family, business contacts etc and just get a clean address when a disposable address starts getting spam. By using a different address depending on to whom you give it, you can also find out who is giving your address to the spammers.



In summary,



If you think it is bad now, then just wait till the spammers recover.



Look up spamcop, knujon etc for reporting options.



Now is a good time to explore disposable addresses.There is too much spam coming to my inbox. Even when I register them as spam. What can I do about this?
Best thing you can do is get yourself a tailor made spam filter, either download free ones or buy, or if it's happening to your regular account (ie. not hotmail, etc) tighten up your security software. But ultimately even these can be bypassed...
Nothing. Welcome to the Internet.There is too much spam coming to my inbox. Even when I register them as spam. What can I do about this?
Call the spam police.
for you i advice you to make a new account so that the spam will not trace you again
