[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1934417, member: 190607"] For most of us...nothing. While there are programs like SpamSieve that will intercept spam and keep it out of your in-box, there are no products or services that will keep marketeers from sending spam to you to begin with. It will remain that way as long as sending spam is inexpensive, effective, and legal; or in the event that it is illegal, not easily traceable. A few very industrious folks create multiple e-mail accounts, and have specific accounts for interacting with entities that might use your e-mail address to send spam, or who might sell your e-mail address to be used by spammers. That way your personal e-mail address theoretically stays hidden from any other than personal acquaintances. But that's all a bunch of work and inconvenience to go through. Using SpamSieve, IMHO, is world's easier. I don't see that as much of an annoyance. Much much more of an annoyance is not receiving legitimate important e-mail that anti-spam software deleted as a false-positive. [/QUOTE]
