    One thing about SPAM is that you never know what source they picked up your e-mail address from. A little prevention will go a long way to help reduce your current problem as well. You will never totally avoid SPAM, but you may be able to reduce the torrent to a trickle. Here are my tips.
    1. Do not give your e-mail address to anyone you don't trust
    2. Do not register on any website, e-mail list, etc.
    3. If you did register on a website or list, make sure you check the "do not contact me except in case of emergency" and "do not give my info out" boxes.
    4. Do not post your e-mail address on a website.
    5. Using a webmail service may actually make you a SPAM target. Hotmail is notorious for this, but even SPAM on Hotmail can be contained.

    • Spam isn't an acronym, but good advice.
