How to avoid spam getting into my mail box
The great news after the capture of Scott Richter, who reigned as the self-proclaimed Spam King of the interet, has turned in his crown to suffer a pre-historic mailing system called "snail mail"; but the bad news is that he left undefined figure of his disciples-spammers. Your mailbox wil still surely entertain, like it or not, as many spams out there as long as you continue publicly announce your email addresses in un-protected un-secured websites.
I went around and asking for a simple method to minimize, if not
totally eliminate spam, is to create a small graphic image showing your
email address. Paste it on your website. This way your users can
visually read your address and no hotlink for any crawling spider that
uses it to spam your mailbox.
I also found a freeware program which allows you to input your email address and gives out an encrypted javascript and can be copied onto your webpage, that way a spammer would have harder time to decrypt it and you temporarily escape spamming. My posted short video shows how the program encrypts your address and my small graphic which I used instead in my webpage. Somehow we should be able to halt spamming.
When you receive an unsolicited email most possibly it is spam and basically that degrades the quality of the emailer who employed spamming just to market products and services boiling down to a business that must be poorly crafted and publicly unwanted. How many of them who relentlessly use this crude scheme can easily be concluded from the cluttering news in your bulk mailbox.
