Fight Spam with Email Exchange
There are so many different ways that you can choose to avoid getting spam that could potentially ruin your computer. You can use filters, blockers and various different programs that will help to keep spam from your account which just about every email service provider offers, or you can choose to go a completely different route which is perhaps the most innovative method out there today. This method is called email exchange.
Email exchange works a lot like disposable emails. What makes these email exchange addresses so useful in fighting spam is that once they receive a certain number of spams, these email addresses simply exchange themselves with another one. This may sound silly since you are probably wondering how this will benefit you since you have to likely change your email address all of the time. This is where email exchanges get interesting. When you sign up for an email exchange account you are given one email address in specific to work with and a user name. Your email address is based on your user name.
You are then required to enter keywords that will allow your email service provider to latch on to these keywords so that you can receive emails from trusted friends etc. these keywords can be their names or anything else that you come up with. When you give out your email address, it is only those that contain your keywords in the subject line or return address that are able to get through to your inbox. Your other emails are then sent to another email address that constantly changes for your perusal. If they are not picked up after a certain period of time, the email address provider simply empties the account and opens a new one.
This special email changes all of the time, however you will always have access to it with your user name and password. This is a great way for you to stay on top of the curve and never again have to worry about spam again. When it comes to spam wars this is one of my favorite tools. These services are not free but they are often the same cost of running your paid email services from your ISP. The best part is that you will not have to worry about spam anymore or whether or not if your computer is going to crash because of them. It is just good sense to invest in one of these programs if you are getting to the point where you spend more time sifting through emails than in any other part of your day.
