Exact Step by Step Procedure - Using the Spam Filtering Service With MS Outlook
A good portion, if not the majority of email traffic on the internet today is spam related. The subject matter of spam emails can include discounted Viagra, inexpensive Rolex watches, a surprise inheritance and any other type of scam imaginable. If your email address is more than a few years old or even only a few months, it is inevitable the spam will find its way into your in-box. You are not without hope though. The following tips and suggestions can help alleviate the influx of spam email messages.
First, you want to own your own domain. You can buy a domain from any registrar such as Network Solutions or whoever. Usually, you would make the domain your-business.com or your-name.com or something like that. Be sure it’s something you wont’ mind typing a hundred times and won’t come back to embarrass you later when you’re giving the cashier at Borders your account email address.
Next, get an email service that will support catch-all. I recommend Google Apps. It’s free, and if you’re tech savvy, it’s easy. If you’re not tech savvy, there are tutorials online to get you started — or you can buy one from an email provider such as Network Solutions.
Take, for example, one of the numerous ‘float tricks’. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allow block-level elements to be ‘floated’ alongside each other, this functionality being most often employed to implement column-style layouts in web pages. But it also allows spammers to break words into bits, and insert spurious characters into common trigger words, in an attempt to fool filters. Once rendered by the HTML engine, though, those bits are reassembled in the correct order, the spurious additions shunted off to the right-hand margin. Another, albeit rarer, technique is to use the ‘right-to-left override’ feature of Unicode to reverse the order of letters bracketed by special codes. This hides the offending word or phrase from the filter (which sees, for example, ‘argaiV’), but the user sees the letters in the correct order thanks to the Unicode-compliant HTML engine. But whatever methods spammers use to disguise their true message, most types of spam have an Achilles’ heel: the URL-based call to action. In the majority of English spam a profit can only be made if there’s a link to click. Attacking the URLs contained in spam emails is a very effective technique, and thus spammers have developed ways to attempt to circumvent this approach too.
Now, when you sign up for something, just use the company’s domain as your email. For borders.com, you would use borders .duanesdomain.com, and for EzineArticles.com, you would use ezinearticles .duanesdomain.com. Simple, right? Now, if I start getting emails to buy Viagra to my borders .duanesdomain.com email address, I just block all emails addressed to borders .duanesdomain.com, and no more spam.
I use this trick now, and it’s saved me from spam countless times. Now only will you be protected from companies that sell your email, but you’ll be protected from companies that get hacked and lose your email address. You’ll also know the company that sold your email, and you can factor that into your mind when considering to do business with that company again.
