Instructions
Step 1
Email is the most vulnerable to attacks by spammers. The most extensive flow of spam is spread through e-mail, but this type of mailing is not limited to mail only. It can be spread via instant messages, blogs, message boards, forums, social networks, dating networks, and sms messages. If you constantly receive spam in your mail, most likely you yourself contributed to this. It is unlikely that this type of mailing will come to the mail if you do not leave your e-mail on various portals and resources. Therefore, just do not give your email address on resources in which you are not sure.
Step 2
Also, another simple way to protect against spam is the filter, which almost any mail has. You can enable it in the settings. In addition, you can mark a certain sender as a spam sender, and letters from him will not come.
Step 3
There is another way - analysis of the IP address of the user who is distributing spam. You need to check if this user is blacklisted, the Domain Name Service will help you figure it out, but there is a possibility of changing the server, then the actions of this spammer can be resumed. There is also a certain "gray" list, which is compiled on the basis of the software used for sending spam, since a simple mail server operates according to a scheme different from the scheme of a spam server. The whitelist is created after a complete check of a particular user.
Step 4
Sometimes companies that are engaged in completely legal business resort to advertising their products using spam. The attractiveness of this promotion for the company lies in the fact that they do not need to pay a lot of money for advertising, and this also allows them to increase the number of potential customers several times. Such spam is removed in a fairly simple way. The message itself contains the phrase "Unsubscribe from mailing". By clicking on it, the user unsubscribes from the mailing list of this site.
