How Do You Actually Control Your Email Spam? »
Now that we've taken a look at getting a handle on our email spam, it's important to try and figure out how to really get on top of it. Sure, we can manage the spam process, and try to make sure that it doesn't get the better of us, but to make the most of it, it is important that we understand how email works to get the most out of the process. Since I use pair Networks, this will naturally look at it from that angle, but much of this can apply to any service.
First, of course, you have to be aware of the spam that you are receiving. We have already talked about that. But then you have to make sure to do everything in your power to keep from receiving more of it. While I know there are lots of people who swear by GMail for it's effectiveness in fighting spam, I have to say that I really don't find it any better than any other tool. You just have to find what works best for you. That doesn't mean that GMail is bad - it just means that is isn't going to be the best because someone says that it is the best.
