Stop Spam with Email Exchange
There are so many different ways that you can choose to avoid
getting spam that could potentially ruin your computer. You can use
filters, blockers and various different programs that will help to
keep spam from your account which just about every email service
provider offers, or you can choose to go a completely different
route which is perhaps the most innovative method out there today.
This method is called email exchange.
Email exchange works a lot like disposable emails. What makes these
email exchange addresses so useful in fighting spam is that once
they receive a certain number of spams, these email addresses simply
exchange themselves with another one. This may sound silly since you
are probably wondering how this will benefit you since you have to
likely change your email address all of the time. This is where
email exchanges get interesting. When you sign up for an email
exchange account you are given one email address in specific to work
with and a user name. Your email address is based on your user name.
You are then required to enter keywords that will allow your email
service provider to latch on to these keywords so that you can
receive emails from trusted friends etc. these keywords can be their
names or anything else that you come up with. When you give out your
email address, it is only those that contain your keywords in the
subject line or return address that are able to get through to your
inbox. Your other emails are then sent to another email address that
constantly changes for your perusal. If they are not picked up after
a certain period of time, the email address provider simply empties
the account and opens a new one.
This special email changes all of the time, however you will always
have access to it with your user name and password. This is a great
way for you to stay on top of the curve and never again have to
worry about spam again. When it comes to spam wars this is one of my
favorite tools. These services are not free but they are often the
same cost of running your paid email services from your ISP. The
best part is that you will not have to worry about spam anymore or
whether or not if your computer is going to crash because of them.
It is just good sense to invest in one of these programs if you are
getting to the point where you spend more time sifting through
emails than in any other part of your day.
