How can you avoid being deluged with spam every time you get your e-mail?

• First, don’t reply to spam messages and ask to be removed from the list. Ironically, attempting to remove yourself may result in even more junk email. Unsubscribing lets spammers know that they have a "live one" on the other end and may increase you junk mail.
• Many hosting companies allow you to employ a spam blocker, such as Spam Assassin, at the server level. This means that your spam will be shuttled to a particular junk folder before you ever see it.
