In order to effectively fight spam, you first need to determine what exactly is covered by the word "spam". Often, network owners and providers are guided by the "presumption of innocence," referring to spam as almost all messages received by e-mail without the recipient's request.

Step 1
The experts studied all existing categories and types of spam. As a result of numerous studies, they have come to the conclusion that there is a risk of losing business mail when treating spam like any unwanted or promotional email.
Step 2
When filtering spam, the key is not to harm the recipient of your email messages. Here is the most accurate definition of spam: "Spam is anonymous bulk email that is received without a request from the mailbox user."
Step 3
In many cases, spam messages can be recognized and filtered by installing an anti-virus (for example, Kaspersky) or Anti-Spam on your computer. Buy licensed versions of similar programs or download them on the Internet. Install on your computer.
Step 4
There is a menu in the antivirus settings, by selecting the parameters of which you can disable spam or put a special filter on it. That is, letters, unsolicited advertising mailings will be blocked or placed in the "Spam" folder in the e-mail.
Step 5
Keep in mind that for the anti-virus to work effectively, you need to regularly update the databases and the key. Outdated databases are less effective in fighting spam and phishing attacks (actions associated with stealing passwords). The key file can be purchased online as well as in computer stores.
Step 6
If you send spam without your desire (this happens on social networks or in online games), then go to the folder where the game is installed. Then find the config file (config.cfg). Open it with any text editor. Find the spam line and delete it. Save the file.
Step 7
Check if spam is registered in another configuration file. Open config.cfg again. Look carefully to see if there is a line exec name.cfg. If it is, then check if there are any spam messages in this file. If they are, then clean them up.
