Hi,
Running a business, spam can be such a big probem that companies are even changing their e-mail address and deleting the old one. This has happened with Radar here in North America.
Whenever my e-mail address is asked for on the internet I give my spam e-mail address, and not my personal one. Then if I join a club orhave a new contact I change it after I know I won't get spam from them.
So I have a spam e-mail address and my regular e-mail address for which I give it to persons personally.
I do quickly browse through the spam e-mail box on Mon, Wed and Fri days to make sure I don't loose any mail I want. It does take extra time to do this, but it is now just a nesseccary evil to contend with and a part of the business.
Also if you click on the left mouse on the spam mail you will get the properties and can find where the mail comes from. Usually it is an overseas address where there are no laws governing spam. England and Austrailia have big fines for spam coming from their country's now.
I never open an attach if I am not expecting it.
Take care
Carole
