It’s almost impossible to avoid spam emails. And nobody has a 100% solution to stop spam, but keeping email addresses out of the hands of spammers is makes sense. And I will reveal the secret of how you can do it yourself.

Your email address is important to you. Anyone who gets their hands on it can use or abuse it. Every time you give your email address to an unknown person or subscribe to the websites, you run the risk of being spammed. Every time you post to a forum, or use a discussion board, the same applies. And, once you get onto a spammer’s list, it’s very hard to get off. Also, it does not make sense to keep the email address secret or having an email if nobody can write to you?

Many websites ask for an email address to sign up or subscribe, it is necessary almost on every web portal. But you have no idea what they’ll be doing with your e-mail. Your e-mail will probably be stored in their email marketing list or a database which will then could be sold to spammers and you will be receiving unsolicited bulk e-mail.

When you subscribed to a blog or website, they might send you a lot of promotional emails. Some good websites give you an option to unsubscribe from their newsletter but many do not allow unsubscribing and your problem get starts from here.
