5.) E-mail for personal marketing contacts only (e.g. contact with other newsletter publishers/JV-partners/affiliates etc. ) - e.g. : firstname@domainname.com

And additionally, if you publish an ezine, you'll need these :

6.) E-mail for article submissions -e.g.: articles@domainname.com

7.) E-mail for advertisement info -e.g.: ads@domainname.com or adinfo@domainname.com

Then you create new inboxes for each of these new email accounts . The next step is to set up rules for filteringrepparttar incoming emails intorepparttar 109597 right folders ( described in part I of "Get your emails organized" ) .

With this very basic filtering system, you can categorize your in- coming emails at a glance. You will also be able to delete all spam mails you received with two clicks of your mouse .

The 3 Golden Rules Of Spam Reduction :

NEVER EVER use your private/subscription addresses/marke- ting contacts email addresses for public purposes. Never leave these addresses on websites and don't use them in your email correspondences (except for validation purposes from ezines you are subscribed to, e.g. to get your free ads) !

NEVER EVER post to FFA-pages (byrepparttar 109598 way, you won't get any results from using them as these pages are hardly ever seen by a human ....- Owning an FFA-page is something different) !

NEVER EVER reply to spammers (this is just a hint for them thatrepparttar 109599 email address is VALID !) !

And last but not least : I've come across a great resource that fights spam with their own methods at :

This is a cgi-script that fights spam by creating dynamic email- addresses . The harvesting software collects that many email addresses that a lot of them are just rubbish forrepparttar 109600 owner who uses those methods .

Although you can reducerepparttar 109601 amount of spam by adoptingrepparttar 109602 rules and habits I mentioned in this article, I am quite sure that spammers will survive because not everybody knows how to prevent or reduce spam and those intruders will find new victims....
