Setting Up A Spam Firewall
Disposable email addresses are a great way to deal with spam. It basically works like this; it is an email address that generally deletes itself when it finds that it attracts too much spam. It's a low cost way to have a spam firewall. The email deals with it for you. I've enclosed a list of free versions of disposable emails.

Encrypting your email passwords is a really good way to protect your inbox from spammer Gangs. Spammer gangs are basically just a group of worldwide spammers that get together online to get into your inbox. However, that is not all they do.
Some spammers make it a point to break into your email and deliver worms, viruses, and Trojans into your inbox. They are cleverly disguised; usually as virus alerts. These types of spammers use hacking to get into your password. Believe it or not, spammers can access your inner email by using your profile and homepage information to access a password. The best way for you to protect yourself is to use encrypted passwords because they are more complicated to figure out. They are a combination of letters and numbers in your password. For example; if you wanted your password to be sonny, you might want to type s56on976ny instead. It is a little bit annoying to try and remember these types of passwords, but believe me, they are harder to track. The same rule applies if you want to use all numbers. It is best to add a few letters in it for the hell of it. Singular password are much easier for a hacker or spammer to dig into and decipher. This is a small matter but one that I felt had to be included somewhere in this document. Many days do we all receive that chain letter in our email inbox. Just like when you receive them at home, you are expected to forward them to a certain number of people if you don't want to have bad luck. Often these emails tell you that some person ignored their chain letter and they had been hit by a car or something, and that those who sent the email won the lottery or something like that. These emails are also spam. I don't know of one person that had bad luck simply by ignoring the chain letter. Actually their luck improved because the spammers stopped sending that particular email. There was one particular spam mail that is used quite a bit and it gets more and more popular by the day. It works similar to a chain letter. This email is sent by a "lawyer" that insists that the email is a promotion for Microsoft's Bill Gates. It basically states that if you send the email to as many people as you can you will receive a check from Microsoft for helping them with their promotion. It also states that you receive a check that is bigger if the people you send the emails to send them to others. Of course it then tells you that if it is a scam, what have you really lost, but that if it's true, you can earn some money. No matter what your chain letters say, DO NOT OPEN THEM! They are lies. By forwarding these types of emails, you are helping the spammers get even more viable email addresses. And since you are forwarding them to your friends, you have just allowed the spammers to get their claws on them too. Your friends will not thank you. Start creating spam firewalls now by saying no to e-mail like this.
