Prevent email attacks and teach you how to stay away from spam and email spam
Email shortens the distance between regions and makes communication faster and more convenient, but it also brings new troubles. You may receive spam every day, which wastes a lot of time. The following describes how to recycle the inbox space and provides tips for clearing spam, preventing viruses, and quickly accessing useful information.

Maybe one day, when you leave the office, what will happen to meet you the next morning? 457 emails! There is an important reply from a major customer or your lover. But how can you find this email from a large number of spam and newsgroup messages? If not properly handled, the important letter may be lost. How can this problem be avoided?

Step 2: track Spam
Do you want to know where the nasty or even aggressive emails come from? Generally, you can find clues in the mail header information, which shows each site that the mail passes before arriving in your inbox.
1. View mail header information
To View the mail header, you generally need to open an option in the mail program. For example, in NetscapeMessenger, open the mail and click "View"/"PageSource" (page source code ).
2. Analyze the mail header information
The best way to resolve mail headers is to use free interpretation tools, such as SamSpade. Copy the email header and select "Edit"/"Paste" in SamSpade ). this program will add comments to each segment of the mail header to tell you the meaning of the segment and whether a given header is forged (this is a common trick of the spam maker ). read the mail header from top (the last station before your inbox) to bottom (where the mail is sent). Even if the mail header is forged, you can find out where the mail comes from.
Step 2: Turn to ISP (Network Service Provider)
The best place to block spam is your ISP, where it can be intercepted outside your mailbox.
1. Check whether your ISP provides a spam filter. If so, you will not be able to see these nasty spam.
2. if your ISP does not provide a spam filter, you can install one or register a filter service. The filter service first receives your email and then forwards it to your ISP account. ImagiNet provides this service.
Step 2: disguise your email address
Spammers send an automatic collection program to the Internet bulletin board and forum to search for valid email addresses. be careful not to be the target of the collection program when you send messages to the announcement board. you can add some text to your address so that the automatic collection program cannot recognize your address, but people can easily recognize it. for example: your_nameNOSPAM@yourispREMOVE.com, where the user name and domain name make the automatic collection program useless. This action is very useful. When I make comments on the Forum, this is the precaution. Of course, you can name it ("NOSPAM" and "REMOVE ") get better notes.
Step 2: The latest method to defeat spam Manufacturers
Spammers will confirm whether your email address is valid. Their latest method is to send an HTML-format email with a single pixel image that is almost invisible somewhere in the email.
If you read the email online, HTML will request the image from the spam maker's server, which confirms that your email address is valid, because someone opened and read the email.
That sounds unlikely? Spammers can do this by adding the recipient address to the HTML tag of the Request image. When spammers check the communication on their servers, you can find out which addresses are valid.
To avoid this situation, there are two methods:
(1) set your email program to be unable to automatically display HTML. for example, NetscapeMessenger has an option to control attachments in the display or link form. HTML is not displayed after you select the link option.
(2) Another method is to download the email and read it offline, or use the Preview pane to read your email. In this way, you do not need to open the email to view the content of the email and decide whether to delete it.
Step 2: Learn about bucket restrictions
Do not forget that most email accounts have the maximum storage space you can use, which is generally 5 MB to 10 MB, whether based on ISP or company-based servers. when the space occupied by your email exceeds this limit, the server will refuse to receive new emails. although it sounds like 10 MB of mailbox space is already large, emails with large attachments will soon fill your mailbox. Your ISP can tell you the maximum number of mailbox space, however, you cannot know the space occupied by the mailbox. to avoid this situation, you should pay attention to the emails you receive. for example, in Outlook, you can select "Tools"/"RemoteMail"/"Connect" to download only the mail header, the email body and attachments are not included. in this way, you can check the size of emails and attachments and mark the large emails for deletion. if you are on the company's email system, you should ask the network administrator what is your email mailbox space ceiling and how much is available now. if you receive too many emails, you can copy important information to the local hard disk for long-term storage.
Step 2: fault and backup mailbox
1. Identify faults
If your email software cannot receive emails, it may be because your email space is used up. at this time, you should check whether your email server is running. If it is running normally, check whether the mail server slows down and blocks communication traffic due to spam in the queue. therefore, you can send an email to yourself for testing. most systems allow users to send emails to themselves using a single account. if your email is not in your inbox, what is Zheng? Too many? Peptide stunned? SP contact and request answers.
2. Backup mailbox
Setting up a backup mailbox can prevent normal email reception from problems in your official mailbox. the easiest way is to get a free email account. this type of email application is very simple. I recommend Yeah.net's email mailbox. You only need to fill in four options to complete the entire application process. it is much simpler than other free email box applications. you can use it when your email account is stopped.

After completing the above six steps, you no longer need to be troubled by spam. I hope you can master the techniques to prevent viruses and quickly access useful information.
