The article is a bit dated, but still useful.
Spam may seem like a big problem, and it is, but you can do something about it. In fact, you’ve got to. You don’t have a choice. If you’re one of those people who receive 50 or 100 or more spams every day, you’ve simply got to find a way to manage it. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce the time you spend dealing with spam. In this article, we’ll look at some of the ways you can reduce or limit the amount of spam you receive by becoming invisible to spammers. In the next article, we’ll discuss some ways you can automatically identify and remove spam you are already receiving. Put them together and you can build a personal anti-spam strategy that works for the kind of mail and the kind of spam you receive.
