How To Select A Spam Blocker
One type of spam blocker is the National No-Spam Directories. These work basically the same as the National tele-marketing laws do. There is no such thing that works for the internet yet, but this is the way it would basically be if there was such a law in existence.
You would have to call a special number or go to a web link, and place your email address in a no call area. This would mean that if any company wanted to send you spam, it would be completely illegal, and they would be susceptible to criminal charges.
At this moment in time, this type of law does not currently exist. It is a difficult law to pass since it basically infringes on a great many rights of the spammers. Yes it does stink that they have rights also. If you would like more information on spam laws check out this link.
Complaining to a spammer's ISP is another route that you might take, but it utterly useless. As there are no laws as of yet to prevent them from sending you spam, there is little that you do about receiving them. At least as far as it concerns the ISP.
These days spammers are smarter than your average surfer. All ISPs can really do is threaten to shut them down. That is not a permanent solution because spammers just learn to use different methods to get their emails out. They can do any of the following:
· Change their e-mail's return address.
· Change their title and/or user name
· Use multiple credit cards
· Use various forms of different identification Basically, if you learned anything from this area, it must have been that complaining is really a waste of time because spammers have far too many ideas on how to avoid ISP interference for the ISPs to have any affect at all. In the end, the best spam blocker is to try and follow some of the easy techniques listed in our other articles.
