How to get rid of spam. While clicking the delete button may seem like a good option, this route can seriously degrade performance over time, especially when your mailbox loaded.

How to remove spam and get rid of mailings via Mail.ru

How to massively unsubscribe from all mailings using the Unroll.me service

How to protect yourself from spam in Gmail by changing your own address

Methods that allow you to protect yourself from spam and detect services that are inaccurately handling the base of email subscribers.

Method 1

All you need to do is add a plus and a word to your gmail address that will help you remember which newsletter or service you subscribed to. It will also help in the future to determine which service has leaked your email or started spamming you with irrelevant information.

For example, if your email is [email protected] then all you need to do is add + highbrow by subscribing to our service. As a result, it will turn out [email protected] All letters sent to this address will automatically come to your mail.

Method 2

Let's take the same example: [email protected] You can insert dots anywhere in your nickname, and an email sent to that email address will arrive in your inbox. For example: [email protected], or [email protected], or even [email protected]

This feature was specially designed to reduce the number of letters not received by recipients because of the dotted points in them where they should not be.

Train your spam filter

Don't worry, your email is on your side. And he's probably working hard to recognize the junk mail and throw it into the Spam folder where it resides. But sometimes even the best of filters fail.

The good news is that you can always train them. Instead of just deleting spam, it is better to "report" it so that your email service knows that it will let the wrong email pass.

This is how this option looks in mail.ru:

Most of the time, the client will work to solve the problem behind the scenes and hopefully learn from their mistakes.

Note. Check your Spam folder from time to time and report valid emails (or false positives) that you find there so that your mail client knew they weren't spam.

Use an alternate email address

Most of the spam comes from too many companies / people who have access to your email address. To prevent this from becoming publicly available, use an alternate email address when publishing online or when registering for services.

Keep your original email address private and only keep it for those with whom you want to communicate. And if you need to register somewhere a little dubious, consider using disposable mail.

You can easily create disposable email addresses with services like itemp.email or 10minutemail. They help you keep your real address safe while minimizing spam.

Create your own spam filter

If you only want to receive emails from specific people, you can set up your own filter by only “submitting to White list»Certain senders.

Here's how you can do it in Gmail:

Open your inbox and go to settings (located on the right side of the screen). Go to the Filters and Blocked URLs tab and click Create New Filter.

Now you can easily customize your own filter by entering the email addresses from which you want to receive messages.

The problem with this solution is that the rest of your email goes into spam, including any important messages from senders not yet added to your filter.

Change your email.

This is another drastic measure, but sometimes it is the only way to absolutely ensure that your email address is protected and not spammed. I recommend this measure for people whose email has been hacked repeatedly or hopelessly inundated with spam. You will want to notify your regular correspondents of the changes and make sure any maintenance staff have your updated Contact Information... You want to be available, but only to the right people.

As technology progressed, we moved from telemarketers, who seemed to always call during lunch, to emails that offer free cruises to the Bahamas or herbal products for men. And while spam is a little less intrusive than ringing your home phone, it's still an equally serious problem. Good side is that with a little effort we can clean up the house and remove almost all the unwanted emails that clog up our inbox.

Getting rid of spam saves your business from the dangers of viruses, phishing, and other fraudulent activities that could end up costing you more than you might imagine.

More importantly, it helps you become more productive by clearing your inbox so you can focus on the emails that really matter.

Every modern computer user, unfortunately, has to deal with spam, in the form of some kind of mailings, most often of an advertising nature. In short, spam is information that you do not ask for, but that you receive, regardless of your desire.

It is sent by people - spammers who send mass mailings to databases email addresses... Unfortunately, getting rid of spam is hard enough and in some cases it is simply impossible. But there are a couple of rules that will help you, if not permanently get rid of it, then at least reduce the flow of spam to your computer.

Of course, the most important rule for getting rid of spam is conspiracy on the Internet. If your e-mail address gets to spammers in their database of addresses, then spam letters will come to you all the time, no matter what you do.

But, if you create a separate mailbox for registration on various sites and forums, you will have the opportunity not to "shine" your main e-mail address on the Internet and, accordingly, to divert it from the threat of receiving spam.

And also try not to publish your email address in open access... It often happens that users indicate their addresses directly in messages on forums, and then they are surprised that their mailbox is attacked by hundreds of letters with advertisements and all kinds of unnecessary information. If there is already an urgent need to indicate your email address in messages open to milestones, then try to encrypt its name. For example, replace the @ sign with the word Dog. Then special spy programs scouring the Internet in search of new addresses will not be able to detect and recognize your email.

If, nevertheless, spam letters have begun to come to your mail, you do not need to read them, let alone answer them. Always add them to the dedicated Spam folder. Or add this recipient to the black list so that letters from him will be automatically transferred to the spam folder. For example, in your Yandex mailbox, you can check the box next to such an unwanted message and click the Spam button on the top of the menu bar.

In cases where spam email just does not give a pass and you cannot cope with it in any way, then it is better to change the mailbox.

Spam attacks us not only in email newsletters, but also on social networks. Administration social networks tries in every possible way to fight spam and punish its distributors. The social network "VKontakte" suffers especially from spam - there spam is sent by personal messages, notes on the "wall", and comments on photos and videos. You should not follow the links provided in such notes.

In addition to unnecessary messages and notes on social networks, the real trouble is when spammers crack passwords to the personal pages of participants and start sending spam on their behalf. First of all, such mailing is carried out to the friends of the "hacked" user with the hope that they will not suspect their friend of something bad and will definitely follow the link specified in the message. If you are faced with this, then the only way to fix the situation will be only to change the password on your personal page.

There can be many tips and solutions to combat spam, but always remember that the best way is to be careful: do not leave your contacts anywhere and change and update passwords often. Never click on suspicious links sent and do not fall for the tempting offers of people who advertise about themselves in a dishonest and ugly way.

Email spam is often referred to as “junk mail”. They are of three types:

1. Advertising messages. Unnecessary advertisements and sales offers often attack work email, distracting your attention and wasting your time. Do not reply to such emails, otherwise your address will be identified as "live" and you will receive even more spam.

2. Fraudulent invitations. Fraudulent emails become especially numerous during periods of economic downturns and crises. As a rule, their headlines promise manna from heaven or mimic a service mailing. In most cases, their purpose is to direct you to the link you need to click on. The result of a click can be an installation on your PC spyware, and in the future - breaking passwords and emptying electronic accounts.

3. Mailings. We are talking about mailings to which you have subscribed by accident or unbeknownst to yourself. Often at the very bottom of the body of the letter there is a clickable phrase "Unsubscribe from the mailing list", which allows you to remove your address from the database of this mailing list. If not, delete the mailing list using one of the methods described below.

Send spam to a dedicated folder

There are two ways to get rid of spam that already comes to E-Mail:

Manually

If spam doesn't overload your mail too much, you can manually flag unwanted emails. All major mail services (Yandex.Mail, Mail.ru, Gmail, Rambler) allow you to do this in two clicks.

Select an email in the Inbox folder, put a checkmark in front of it and click the corresponding button: "Spam", "This is spam" or "To spam". The letter will appear in a separate "Spam" folder, from where it will be automatically deleted in a few days. In the future, all letters from the sender's address, as well as similar ones, will fall into this folder, bypassing the "Inbox".

Attention! Sometimes the necessary letters can get into the "Spam" folder, so check it when you are waiting for a letter. You can send such a letter back to your Inbox if you select it with a tick and click the Do not spam button on the toolbar.

Automatically

Set up a filter that will immediately filter out all unnecessary letters. Let's take a closer look at how to do this in Yandex.Mail and Mail.ru, the most popular mail services in the Russian Internet.

Creating a rule in Yandex.Mail:

1. Select: Mail - All settings - Incoming mail processing rules - Create rule.

3. Then set the conditions "If": "From whom" - enter the address from which you receive spam.

4. Below you need to choose what action to perform: "Delete", or "Put in folder" - "Spam". Everything else can be left blank.

5. Click the "Create Rule" and "Apply to Existing Emails" button to get rid of the already received spam.

Filter settings in Mail.ru:

1. In the "Inbox" folder, check the box for the letters you want to block the sender.

2. On the More tab, select Create Filter.

3. On the page that opens, in the "If" block, the address of the selected sender will appear. In the "To" section, select the "Delete forever" value (or "Move to folder" - "Spam").

5. To complete the procedure, in the "My filtering rules" block to the right of the created filter, click on the "Filter" link.

6. Check the result in the Inbox folder: all messages from this recipient should be removed from the list (or moved to the Spam folder).

Protect your inbox

How does your email address end up in the spammers database? There are programs, spam bots that collect email addresses all over the Internet and transmit them to services that send spam letters through this database, sometimes several thousand a day. To minimize the risk of getting into the database of spammers in the future, follow these simple rules:

1. Do not register your E-Mail on an unverified resource, the reputation of which gives rise to doubts. It is also better to pass by the "dead" resource, where there are no new publications, recent user comments.

2. To register on secondary resources, create an additional mailbox so as not to jeopardize your work or personal E-Mail.

3. Pay attention to the item "Subscribe to the newsletter", which is most often located at the bottom under the registration form. Without a shadow of a doubt, uncheck it if you are not interested in mailing from this resource.

4. Avoid publicizing your email address on forums and other open sources. If you still need to provide your mailing address, then make the record as follows: name (dog) domain (dot) ru. With this form of entry, it is much less likely that a spam bot will recognize your address.

If time has already been lost, and spammers powerfully attack your corporate mailbox every day, then you can get rid of spam protective programs... However, installing them on the server requires special knowledge and access rights. Contact the system administrator to solve the problem, this is his responsibility.

Protecting your privacy If you “live” on the Internet, you may have heard that, passwords are like underwear, never leave them in open places. Funny but true! Your email IDs, as well as well-guarded passwords, should be kept away from comments on blogs, newsgroups, or any other public portals. Without doing this, your mail ID susceptible to spam bots that are quick to add it to the recipients' junk mail list. Spoil your email IDs like your toothbrush.

Well, dodging in e-mail from badges using a postal ID can do the trick. With bots predisposed to email badges, by changing them to text for email, identifiers such as mail gmail com, for example, can trick a spambot into keeping your id from getting it.

Blocking the function of checking your e-mail address is probably the best way trick spammers into believing your e-mail id is a trick.

DEA, though, are highly operational and always have to be bought, but this is leading to the elimination of a nightmare avalanche of spam!
