You may now go for another very innovative way to avoid spam. It is called "disposable e mails".

The basic methodology by which these disposable e es work, is that after it receives a certain amount of , it automatically destructs itself. It might set you wondering whether this means that you have to keep on changing your e all the time. This is where the disposable e mail address add value. After you opt for a disposable e mail address, you are given one with a specific user name. your address depends on the user name.

You will then give your e mail service provider some , which enables the provider to send you mails only from those sources you approve of. These keywords are based on their names or whatever you choose. So when you give your e mail address to someone from whom you like to receive mails, it will contain those keywords in the address, so as to allow them to enter your inbox. All other mails reach your other e mail address which goes through constant change for you to view them. If you ignore them for some time, they get automatically deleted.

This unique e mail , though keeps on changing, you can access it through your user name and password. By using this tool, you can always ignore the spams and not worry about them again. Of all the methods available, which wages a war against spam, this happens to be my favorite. This service of course dos not come free but it costs the same amount of money s you would be spending for your paid e from the ISP. Since it saves you the worry of constantly worrying whether your computer is gong to crash because of spam, and you don't have to spend endless hours sifting through the junk mail, I feel this is a cost worth incurring.

However, just like everything else, preplanning and the right setup to create success are the things you will need to make it work for you and your e-business.

The first thing you want to be sure you don't do is get over-zealous. The one thing you need to avoid at all costs is .

Spamming is still used widely, but with the government establishing more restrictions and fines you don't want this to be a problem for you. The professional image of your site will also suffer if you send mail .

Spamming requires a database that contains a huge list of e-mail addresses set up so that the message can be delivered with one click.

The problem with it (aside from the governmental restrictions and associated fines) is that it irritates the recipients and kills the validity of your campaign, which in turn kills the factors that would motivate someone to refer your site.

You need to personalize by creating your website with personal appeal. You must see to it that your website makes your customers feel safe, secure and cared for.

E-mail is important, because it is going to be one of the most affordable ways to keep in touch with your customers.

The proper way to handle permission is to first let your customer know that you will not transmit their e-mail addresses to third party companies.

The next thing to do is to attach the need for their e-mail addresses to benefits they can receive.

For example: Coupons or discounts that are only available to members who receive e-. With each e-mail you send the viral marketing effect takes place.

Even better, AOL now offers free, web based e-mail services. Many people prefer web based e-mails because they can take them along whenever they change their internet providers. The mail offers plenty of services along with web mail so it makes sense that it is one of the leading web s.

Of course, because web mail is so popular and because there are people who like to change e-mail addresses often and create addresses specifically for newsletter subscriptions, junk mail, etc, there are a lot of AOL e- that get hijacked by spammers and people who like to send "anonymous" e-mails to others. The good news is this: if you have been getting unwanted e-mail from an AOL web mail address, it is possible to do a reverse e-mail search and find out who has been sending you the unwanted e-mail and make them stop.

Your first line of defense when it comes to unwanted e-mail is the reverse e-mail search provided by the web mail provider. If the e-mail is coming from an AOL web mail address, use the reverse e-mail search option provided by America Online itself. Using the web mail provider's reverse e-mail search tool should always be your first stop because it will be the easiest method in finding out who has been sending you the unwanted e-mail and/or spam. This is because it is easier for AOL to check its own records than it is for an outside source to try to check those records for you.

Of course, if the reverse e-mail search provided by AOL isn't successful, there are other options that are available to you. There are many different reverse e-mail search services available on the internet and you should try as many as you can to get the results that you need. If none of the internet based reverse e-mail searches work out, and the unwanted e-mail has become a real problem, you might want to consider hiring a professional search service to find out who, exactly has been sending you the e-mail. In some cases a professional search service is the best way to go because there are many people, spammers especially, will take many steps to make sure that their identities and contact information remain hidden.

Remember that you need to be taking steps to protect your own AOL e-mail account as well. Make sure that your password isn't obvious and that it is hard to crack. Change it often so that you can reduce the risk of having your AOL web mail account being hijacked by spammers or people who would send unwanted e-mail to other people.

Your tenacity will also play a big role in whether or not you see success with your reverse e-mail search. The more thorough your search, the more likely you will be to discover the identity of the e-mail address owner.Ed Opperman invites you to visit his cyber investigation website for all of your email search needs.

Everyone knows the benefits of using a web based e-mail service. Most of these services are free of charge (or very inexpensive) and are far more convenient than the e-mail addresses that will be supplied to you by your internet provider. This is because, in this day and age, people appreciate the ability to check their e-mail from any internet service and on any computer. Web based e-mail offers people that option.

Of course web based e-mail isn't without its faults. Because people create more e-mail addresses than they actually use, there are a lot of "dead" e- out there that get taken over by spammers and hijackers. Others will create an e-mail account with GMX or one of the other web mail services with the intent of sending "anonymous" e-mail to someone else.

If you have been receiving unwanted e-mail from a GMX e-mail address there are several steps you can take:

1. Find out if GMX provides a reverse e-mail search service and then use it to find out who has opened the from which your unwanted e-mail has been sent. This should always be your first step because GMX will have an easier time searching its own records than an outside search engine will have in getting access to the records' information.

2. Do a search with any of the major search engines to find web-based reverse e-mail searches. There are a large number of companies out there that offer this service. It might take a few (or many) tries to get the information you want but if you keep trying you will increase the odds of finding out who has been sending you the unwanted e-mail that has been polluting your inbox. Don't give up--the longer you search, the better your chances become of finding out what you want to know.

3. If the unwanted e-mail has been especially malicious, you might want to consider hiring a professional to contact GMX and find out who is on the other end of the e-mail address that has been harassing you. A professional will know how to get GMX to turn over the information that you need. You should also consider contacting GMX's support team yourself to report the malicious e-mail. GMX might be able to suspend the account or help you take legal action against the e-mail sender.

When it comes to doing reverse e-mail searches, whether you need to find the owner of a GMX e-mail account or a different web based e-mail address the key is to keep at it.

Yahoo mail is one of the most popular web based e-mail services. It is offered via the popular and offers users plenty of space and other fun options like live chat and access to Yahoo groups and forums. Of course, web mail is not without its risks. If an account is left dormant for a long period of time it runs the risk of being hacked by spammers. If a person's password is easy to figure out it also runs the risk of being used to send malicious or unsolicited e-mail to other internet users.

If you have recently been receiving unwanted e-mails from a , it is possible to find out who is sending them. The best way to do this is through a reverse e-mail search. There are plenty of reverse e-mail services available, but your first stop should be the Yahoo e-mail reverse e-mail search. You'll be more likely to find out current information if you use the to check their user records.

This might sound obvious, but you will want to write down all of the yahoo e-mail addresses that have been sending you the unwanted e-mails. The number of people who try to do reverse e-mail searches without remembering the e-mail address they want to search for is staggering. It is also important to remember that you might have to try a few different reverse e-mail searches before you find the one that turns up the information you have been searching for. While you will want to start with Yahoo's reverse e-mail lookup, it is important to keep your options open--options that involve using other web based reverse e-mail search services or, if none of those work, hiring a professional to do the searching for you.

Keep in mind that there are some people who do not want to be found and they will take many steps to protect their identities and contact information. If you run into something like this, your best bet is to report the unwanted e-mails to your Yahoo server and let them figure out what action to take. You should also be taking steps to protect your own account to keep someone else from using it to send out unwanted e-mails that look like they are coming from you!

One little job that can be hectic is sending s. If you are "organized" like me, you probably have your little list that you pull out each year. People move and addresses change, and the simple task of sending a tiny card in the mail can become a monster!

This is why many people have started sending e-cards. Like e-mail and e-everything-else nowadays, e-cards are sent through the internet, rather than by the old "."

You simply choose the card you like, and send it from your e- to another. You don't need to spend all that time writing addresses and buying stamps and so forth. And, it's easy to manage your Christmas card list because you can keep it all on your e-mail account, updated and ready to go!

Now, some people might think that sending e-cards is somewhat impersonal. Getting the mail is half the fun, right? Actually, the ease and convenience of e-cards means that you can send MORE Christmas cards. I send e-cards to acquaintances and co-workers who I otherwise might not send a Christmas card to.

I send regular Christmas cards from the store to my family and close friends, and for everyone else I send e-cards. This way I can send a Christmas greeting to everyone!

Besides all that, you can personalize your e-card. There are sites all over the Web where you can find e-cards that are ready-to-send. They allow you to write your own messages, choose a font you like, and some even let you put your own pictures on them.

The Internet offers us many easy ways to keep in touch with the ones we love. E-cards are a quick, convenient and cost-effective way to send your seasons' greetings!

These lists have become very sought after and depending on your needs, very expensive.

The expense comes in if you are purchasing address lists with special criteria attached to them. The address lists can contain e-, postal addresses or both. The address lists that contain e-mail addresses that are not with or Yahoo tend to be more expensive. The reason for this is that Hot Mail and Yahoo block so many s coming into their subscribers. The American lists have also gotten more expensive due to the anti-spam laws. The people on the email address lists have in some way opt-ed onto the lists by purchasing something or placing their address on a form.

Address lists have been around for many years, long before the internet was established. The early lists were used by telemarketers as well as door to door sales men. Years ago the door to door sales men would exchange the and addresses of customers that they had with other salesman. This way they would have a place to start when going into a different territory. Today the development of the address lists is much more sophisticated. The lists are categorized by the person's interests, spending habits, what websites they have visited, what purchases that have been made and many other criteria. There are times when people know that they are adding their names to address lists. Examples would be requesting additional information from a website or about a product. There are other times when you have no idea that you are placing your personal information on a . The most common way of doing this is asking a person to sign up for a raffle. Whether people are signing up on the internet or at a booth at the local fair, no one thinks twice about placing their name, address telephone number and e-mail address on a raffle or sweepstakes entry. This information is then placed on an address list and sold.

If you are in business and are interested in purchasing address lists go with a reputable company. Ask other's in the business where they go for their lists. Remember if you are being offered hundreds of names and addresses the lists are most likely very general. You also have to be careful with the large lists that you do not get accused of spamming people.

Didn't you notice that a small mailing list can give you a high response and a huge list can get a very, very low response rate? That is because it's not the number of emails on your list but the quality of the list that does really matter.

Although sending out magazines and newsletters to millions of addresses through is free, you cannot afford to risk your fair name by offending people. Your email address lists should only contain those that signify they want to receive email from you. Otherwise, your unsolicited advertising will be classified as . Plus, the cleaner your list is, more profits you will get.

Here are some tips how to maintain your mailing list clean and up-to-date:

1. Verify your targeted email list for bad and undeliverable before you send to it. You can use email validation software to do a list check. You can just search the Internet for an email address verifier tool to choose the one that suits your needs best.

2. Exclude bad email addresses from your list.

3. Manage bounces thoroughly. Not all bounced emails should be deleted from your list. Delete hard bounces. Hard bounce is when recipient rejects your email. Soft bounce is when your email accepted by recipient's mail server but bounced back because of reasons like is full, your message is large than receiving mail server upper limit etc. Try to send the messages a few times to soft bounced email addresses before you delete them. There is chance that the message will be delivered after several attempts.

4. Use double opt-in subscription method. This way you can make sure that the email address is valid and that the subscriber really wants to receive mail from you.

5. Delete unsubscribers. Always provide an easy way to unsubscribe. Before sending an email campaign, do a search for people who unsubscribed and delete them from your database.

6. Provide an option for subscribers to change their email address. Some list management software or services provide a link to your subscriber details and lists he opted for. From there your subscribers can change their email addresses and update their profiles.

7. Don't buy email lists. Most email addresses on those lists are collected by website email extractors and belong to people who didn't hear about you and don't expect any mail from you.

8. Avoid spelling errors. If you manually import your subscribers from your old list manager to the new one or from your helpdesk to your mailing list manager etc, be careful to type the email addresses in the right way.

9. Try to avoid free email accounts. It's a little hard to do though because nowadays people often use a free email account like hotmail.com, yahoo.com although they have their own domains. This is because they don't want to reveal themselves or they might be afraid that the owner of the list might send junk or spam to them.

How does the spammer get my e-mail address?

The spammer can acquire e- through a variety of means. These may include harvesting them from websites, purchasing them from third parties who compile such information, or simply using "dictionary attacks" - using software to try out all possible combinations of letters, common names and words in e-mail addresses. An e-mail spammer can buy a list of e-mail addresses from a list broker, who compiles it by harvesting addresses from Internet websites.

So what can be done about it? What antispam procedures and software really work?

Spam filtering software is the first stop in your antispam campaign, but in some ways it's the easiest to subvert.

What this antispam tool does is tell your e-mail system to look for designated - sex, nude, porn, for example - and to eliminate the messages that contain these clue words. Of course, there are easy ways to get around these antispam tactics. Did you ever see a message that comes through with the word sex spelled s*e*x? Well, that asterisk method has circumvented your spam filter - or the spam filter of your Internet and e-.

The other problem with this filter is that you could miss . A friend, for instance, who might mail you that she was "sick of porn sites popping up" might have her message deleted because it contained the word porn.

Two upgraded versions of these antispam filtering products are Bayesian and heuristic filters, which try to identify offensive messages through recognition of phrases as objectionable. SpamAssassin by Apache is probably the best known example of heuristic filtering. What these filters are doing that the more basic ones aren't is looking at the message itself rather than the subject header. Both Bayesian and heuristic filters have an in that they depend for their filtering on frequency. Were a spammer to send a short message it would get past.

To further complicate things by punishing the "good guys," major started simply considering batch emailing as potential spam. What this did, however, was to disrupt opt-in products such as e-zines and newsletters. So that didn't work well. The spammers themselves found a way around it anyway. As they sent out their batch messages they inserted a program that produced a variant in each heading. Perhaps a word that didn't even make sense, but still individualized each message enough to have the batching not appear as batching.

Some non-profit Internet watchdog agencies started keeping lists of the IP addresses of spammers. When these addresses cropped up in mail they were blocked. The way around this for spammers was simple - they changed IP addresses. The result was even worse, in that those addresses then got handed out to completely innocent folks who now had problems sending e-mail. Then the spammers got really aggressive and started creating and distributing viruses allowing them to hijack IP addresses that weren't on the "spam" lists.

Where the answer seems to lie for many businesses and their sites is to bypass standard email communication altogether and resort to online feedback forms for electronic communication. Which of course doesn't resolve the antispam issue for private individuals who have no Web site of their own.

If you are one of these people, then that means to conclude that you are also one of those people who complain and get irritated by the increase in the amount of what is called "" that tends to appear on your email box.

These "junk mail" are most often referred to as spam. Spam has become a bigger dillemma for the Internet to deal with. You must help to keep the Internet user-friendly and useful for everybody. How, exactly, can you fight spam?

Blocking List, or , is an aggressive spam-fighting tool. If you use this list, you can be successful in blocking a whole lot of spam. The only disadvantage is that there is also a very big possibility that you may unpurposedly filter or block the email that you want.

Now having highlighted this limitation, you should really consider using the SCBL as a portion of a scoring system, and explicitly whitelist your wanted email senders. If you do this, bounces from your system, that hit naïve third parties, are prevented.

The SCBL is blocking list of what, exactly? The SpamCop Blocking List is a list of various IP addresses, which have sent reported email to those who use SpamCop, which, in turn, is used to filter and block unwanted electronic mail.

It acts fast, since it is an automatic list of websites that send reported mail, of which is inclusive of quite a number of report sources, SpamCop user submissions and automated reports. You do not have to worry about delisting the particular sites, for SCBL automatically delists the said sites when the reports cease from being sent.

The SCBL has a definite goal, which is to with misidentification of email that are wanted, or only with minimal blocking.

However, SpamCop encourages you, if you are a user, to actively keep a whitelist of your wanted senders of email, and also to divert and tag your mail. SpamCop stresses that these procedures are better than just blocking certain email addresses outright.

If you are one of these people, then that means to conclude that you are also one of those people who complain and get irritated by the increase in the amount of what is called "" that tends to appear on your email box.

These "junk mail" are most often referred to as spam. Spam has become a bigger dillemma for the Internet to deal with. You must help to keep the Internet user-friendly and useful for everybody. How, exactly, can you fight spam?

Blocking List, or SCBL, is an aggressive spam-fighting tool. If you use this list, you can be successful in blocking a whole lot of spam. The only disadvantage is that there is also a very big possibility that you may unpurposedly filter or block the email that you want.

Now having highlighted this limitation, you should really consider using the SCBL as a portion of a scoring system, and explicitly whitelist your wanted email senders. If you do this, bounces from your system, that hit na=EFve third parties, are prevented.

The SCBL is blocking list of what, exactly? The SpamCop Blocking List is a list of various IP addresses, which have sent reported email to those who use SpamCop, which, in turn, is used to filter and block unwanted electronic mail.

It acts fast, since it is an automatic list of websites that send reported mail, of which is inclusive of quite a number of report sources, SpamCop user submissions and automated reports. You do not have to worry about delisting the particular sites, for SCBL automatically delists the said sites when the reports cease from being sent.

The SCBL has a definite goal, which is to with misidentification of email that are wanted, or only with minimal blocking.

However, SpamCop encourages you, if you are a user, to actively keep a whitelist of your wanted senders of email, and also to divert and tag your mail. SpamCop stresses that these procedures are better than just blocking certain email addresses outright.

As a result, most of those who use SCBL realize that the amount of unwanted electronic mail that have been filtered with success, makes the risks you dared to make, and any of your additional efforts, worthwhile.

If you do not want to have to deal with the headaches you can get from deleting a big number of junk mail from your mailbox, the SCBL is your solution.

One of the most important part of your offer is the sales letter, so we are going to focus on that all important piece in this article.

If your sales letter is going to be successful, here are some strategies you can implement to boost your response rate...

First, at the top of your sales letter, you should be using a strong headline that states the most important of your offer. It should be in , a larger font, and very different from the rest of the text in your sales letter.

Next, when you are writing your sales letter, you need to as you are speaking to a friend, not trying to sell anything. Don't use in an attempt to impress your prospects with your domination of the language. They don't care, they just want to know "what's in it for me?" Talk to them as you're speaking to your best friend.

Of all the ideas, here's a good one that I use all the time... it's a P.S. The post script. Here, you want to restate your strongest benefit and sales offer in it. A lot of people read the P.S. prior to reading the actual sales letter, so you need to make your P.S. have a very strong message on it and a specific call to action.

You need to explain the benefits your customers will receive. Again, they are thinking "what's in it for me?" Just think like you are the customer, what would you want to hear? What would you expect?

You need to ask your prospect to take action, such as "order now" or call you for more information, visit your site, or to complete an order form and mail you a payment, etc. If you don't ask them to follow through, they won't do it on their own. Just ask!

Now that we have some of the fundamentals of the sales letter down, here are some more direct mail ideas...

Use a standard white business envelope to get your letter opened. Write the addresses by hand or at least use a hand writing font to put the addresses on the envelope. Don't use mailing labels as that will tell your prospective customer that it's just another sales offer, they will throw it in the trash.

I would also recommend that you make your envelope somewhat lumpy. You want to enclose a small, inexpensive free gift that will make them want to wonder what's in it. A pen, highlighter, etc, something that has your company information on it, phone number and website.

Perhaps the most important of all direct mail ideas is repetition. You won't succeed with direct mail or implementing these direct mail ideas if you only send out one mailing. Each prospect needs to be approached several times before making that final purchase. By mailing to them more than once, you are reminding them of what you have to offer and your strong offer still stands.

In closing, the national average for a direct response mail piece is only 1%. So basically what that means is that when you mail out 100 pieces, you can expect that only one customer will order or contact you back. However, following the direct mail ideas that I have presented to you above, you can surely increase that rate, therefore increasing your profits and bottom line.

Everyone knows the benefits of using a web based e-mail service. Most of these services are free of charge, anonymous and are far more convenient than the e-mail addresses that will be supplied to you by your Internet provider. This is because, in this day and age, people appreciate the ability to check their e-mail from any Internet service and on any computer. Web based e-mail offers people that option. But these are also options that a cyber stalker would find attractive when trying to conceal his true identity from his victims.
These online stalkers will create an e-mail account with AIM or one of the other web mail services with the intent of sending harassing "anonymous" e-mail or Instant Massages (IMs) to someone else.

If you have been receiving unwanted e-mail or IMs from an AIM e-mail address there are several steps you can take:

1. Find out if AIM provides a reverse e-mail search service and then use it to find out who has opened the AIM account from which your unwanted e-mail has been sent. This should always be your first step because AIM will have an easier time searching its own records than an outside search engine will have in getting access to the records' information.

2. Do a search with any of the major search engines to find web-based reverse e-mail searches. There are a large number of companies out there that offer this service. It might take a few (or many) tries to get the information you want but if you keep trying you will increase the odds of finding out who has been sending you the unwanted e-mail that has been polluting your in box. Don't give up--the longer you search, the better your chances become of finding out what you want to know.

3. If the unwanted e-mail has been especially malicious, you might want to consider hiring a professional to find out who is on the other end of the e-mail address that has been harassing you. A professional will know how to get the information that you need. You should also consider contacting AIM's support team yourself to report the malicious e-mail. AIM might be able to suspend the account or help you take legal action against the e-mail sender. But keep in mind that if AIM closes the account it will make it much harder for an investigator to trace the AIM email and identify the sender.

When it comes to doing reverse e-mail searches, whether you need to find the owner of a AIM e-mail account or a different web based e-mail address the key is to keep at it. Don't give up; you'll find what you are looking for! If you think it's too complicated you can always retain a professional that specializes in email tracing.Ed Opperman invites you to visit his cyber investigation website for all of your email search needs.

He builds web sites part time. I know he's not alone; DNS confuses a lot of people.

The internet works by assigning an address to each device attached to it. This address is called an Internet Protocol Address or IP Address for short. It's a 32 bit number that's commonly written as 4 segments or octets (called an octet because each 4th is 8 bits) such as 10.10.1.1 or 216.54.217.22. Each octet can range between 0 and 255. This address works just like your street address: a packet (a chunk of communication between two devices) leaving your computer and heading for moves through devices call routers that route traffic on the internet. The router looks at the and knows which way to send the packet. Just like a letter moves through various post offices and delivery vehicles (, , airplanes, etc.) your little packet of internet traffic moves across various communication channels (phone lines, cable lines, fiber, etc.) and providers (UUNet, Cogent, Level3, Time-Warner, ATandamp;T, Sprint, , etc.). It finally arrives at its destination and is processed and a return packet is sent back... in just the same way, it finds its way back based on your IP Address.

The Internet would be pretty hard to use if you had to remember all those when you wanted to visit a web page, so a naming scheme is used that allows you to enter a name that is easy to remember instead of a sequence of numbers. So, how does your computer get the IP Address of a web site when you type in the name? That's where Domain Name Servers do their job.

Name Servers. A Name Server holds the information that relates the IP Addresses for a web site to the names used to access that web site. If you want to have a web site with a domain name, you have to register or purchase (more like rent) the domain name from a service call a registrar. When I registered the domain name for my web site, I told the registrar what Name Server I was using, Most people will use the Name Servers provided by their hosting facility (where they rent the server space for their web site). That Name Server is configured to have a andquot;zoneandquot; for my domain and that zone contains records that relate a name to an IP address, this is called an andquot;A Recordandquot;. An andquot;MX Recordandquot; is used to identify the mail server for that zone, for example, I have an andquot;A Recordandquot; for my domain that points to the IP address of the web server, and the andquot;MX Recordandquot; points to the mail server for my domain. These may or may not be on the same server. When someone sends me email, their mail server will request the Name Server for my domain and will get it's IP Address, then it can request the MX Record and get it's IP Address, and then it can send packets of mail to the mail server for my domain.

Domain Name Servers. A Domain Name Server stores the domain names and associated IP Addresses for a period of time.

This is stored or cached on a server called a Domain Name Server, or DNS server for short. If the time specified for caching a domain name / IP Address relationship has passed the DNS server will remove it from its cache. When a request for an IP Address is made, and the DNS server does not have that address in its cache, the DNS Server will make a request to a set of special servers on the internet that hold the addresses for all the Name Servers and which domain names each one controls. It can then send a request to the name server for that domain to get the IP Address for the domain name and return it to the computer or device making the original request. All Internet Providers have several DNS servers and as you browse the internet your computer is constantly sending requests to these DNS servers to get (or resolve) IP Addresses for the domain names you type in or links you click on.

A web site's name to address relationships are stored on Name Servers, as you browse the Internet, DNS servers either provide the address back to your computer from cache, or, look up the Name Server for your domain and then gets the correct Name Server to get the IP Address.

Now you too understand DNS and Name Servers!

There seems to be a lot of attention paid to the content of emails and little or no attention to the other areas that can cause failures.

Here is a short list of things you can do to improve . These are issues that I've had to deal with myself during my 12 years as an ISP. Note that these points are mainly aimed at those of you with your own . If you are on a shared server then you won't have quite as much control ... though the DNS and script related points are still relevant. Also note that not all mail servers implement the measures that I will be discussing - but there are some that do, so several problems with your DNS or can lead to a considerable number of undelivered messages.

1. Reverse DNS - The server that sends your mail should have a corresponding reverse entry. What that means is that if your server hostname is mail.mydomain.com and your DNS server says that this address is IP 1.2.3.4, then there should be a corresponding 'reverse' entry saying that 1.2.3.4 is mail.mydomain.com. Some mail servers will check this before accepting your mail, and reject your email if these DNS entries don't match. This can be fixed by adding the appropriate entry or in some cases asking your host to add an entry (which most will gladly do).

2. Checking the Sender - Some mail servers will now check for a valid sender. How this works, is that when you send an email, the receipient's server will immediately connect back to your server and start a 'conversation' with that server as if it is going to deliver mail. If your server says that the sender is 'User Unknown' or there is some other type of error then the delivery will fail. Always use a valid address on your emails .... even if it means creating a 'donotreply@yourdomain.com' mailbox that you rarely look at.

3. Postmaster@, Abuse@ - You've probably seen these mentioned and heard that you should have them ... but do you have these addresses for all your domains? These addresses are sometimes checked by anti-spam services when someone submits a spam report. If you don't have those addresses then you can end up on the 'rfcignorant' blacklist. Granted, only the most anal of ISPs and businesses use that blacklist, but how serious are you about getting all of your email delivered? No point in taking chances. Things like this can also add to the 'score' an anti-spam program will give your message and edge you closer to the threshold it sets for rejecting messages.

4. Script-based mailers - If you are running a membership site, chances are it is written in PHP or Perl. In this case it is the mail headers that you need to be wary of. Anti-spam applications like SpamAssassin, which is very popular, examine the headers and give your message a 'score' based on many factors including how valid the headers appear. It is outside of the scope of this article to go into details, but if you have a programmer on hand, ask him to check any script-based mailers you have and see if he can add or change some of the message headers.

5. SPF - SPF has been around a while now. It is gradually being adopted by more and more ISPs and businesses but is by no means a cause for concern - yet. It can prevent people from forging your email address though, at least for the servers that use it. How it works is that a record is added to your DNS stating which server IP numbers are allowed to send mail from your domain. So ... if SPF says that mail from you should be coming from IP 1.2.3.4 and Joe Spammer tries to send mail from IP 4.3.2.1 with a return address of you@yourdomain.com, any server that is using SPF will reject that mail.

I strongly suggest that you visit dnsreport.com and put your domain in there (just the domain .. without the 'www'). This will give you a quick look at whether you have any glaring DNS or mail issues. If you see any red in there then you need to get it fixed. If you see any yellow, then you should have someone take a look to see if there are any issues serious enough that they should be resolved.

The most unfortunate aspect of how spam works is that it is quite simple. A spammer needs only collect a large number of web addresses and an unwanted advertisement can be sent to hundreds of people. Many spammers use software to make their spamming easier. There are many different kinds of spam and people who are responsible for this annoyance.

E- involves simply sending out an ad to hundreds of recipients. Many people have spam blockers in place, which bounce the unsolicited e- tot he sender, or filters which place the suspicious e-mail in a bulk folder until the recipient has time to decide to accept or reject it. In addition to e-mail spam, which is the most common form of spam, there are also forms of spam that appear on Instant Messenger accounts, newsgroups, blogs and mobile phones.

Spammers are quite happy that there is no operating costs involved in their schemes and that the barrier to their entry is quite low, even given the newest filtering and blocking systems. Even though these programs might be effective in weeding out spam, spammers are becoming more sophisticated and re-wording suspicious looking headings and subject lines. In a word, spamming is as easy as sending an e-mail, except that one has to manage exceptionally large e-.

Since spamming is discouraged and against the law in some places, many spammers are desperate to avoid detection. They their spam campaigns from other computers or "zombie" computers which send the spam for them. Once they bypass security devices and are able to obtain sensitive information about a PC, they can use the PC for sending unsolicited bulk mail.

Another possibility is to get a hold of addresses and to get them to send spam. The result of this is that a spammer might be unaware that he or she is spamming, since another computer is controlling his or her PC. The unwitting spammer might be placed on blacklists, could lose internet service and denied access to certain chat groups. This is very serious in addition to the fact that spammer face stiff fines and even the possibility of incarceration.

Spammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in avoiding filters and blockers. The heading of an e-mail may say simply "Hey" or lack a heading altogether. Spam filters are not vigilant about such subject lines and allow many of them through. Since spam filters are concerned with blocking e-mails with certain words, some spammers intentionally misspell words to bypass these restrictions.

Spam is, unfortunately, all too easy, but more e-mail users who do not want spam are setting up whitelists that allow only certain people to e-mail them. It is impossible for spamsters to penetrate these walls, but the added protection may spell a lack of spontaneity for the consumer.

Webmail also offers filtering services that take some of the inconveniences out of running every attachment you receive through a virus detections program. depend on customer satisfaction to keep them going, so their virus detection software is almost always top of the line.

In addition, often include filtering processes through which is delivered to a junk box, and needs never be seen by the person using the mail.

Most now also offer free connectivity to other users of the service, so that you can talk to friends while you are online without having to go to a chatroom or other service to do it.

There are a few inconveniences to using a , however. Businesses often browse the database for addresses, and then send unwanted mail to your account. This mail can sometimes make it through the filter, although the filters are becoming better and better.

Sometimes, the filter can be too good. If you are giving out your webmail address to potential clients and employers, or anywhere else, it is important to check your junk mail before it is emptied (this is usually done automatically every few days) to make sure you are not missing an important message.

The advantages of webmail far outweigh the inconveniences. The filters are designed to err on the side of caution, so they are highly effective when it comes to scanning your unsolicited email. You can also use them in the same way that you would use a normal email account, to record addresses and have a list of favorites for handy reference.
