If you are using the internet to send and receive emails from an email application like Outlook, then you get spam. And if you have most of the people adding in your account, then you gets one or two dozen of email beside one or two spam mails in a day. It is not the topic to surprise as spam is now the accounts for the billions of messages sent every day and one day it accounts for 90 per cent of sent messages.
There is no solution to avoid these spam mails, but you can do one thing by minimizing the chances of getting these spam mails.
1. For newsgroup account don’t use your actual email address. The spammers get the address to harvest them from newsgroup posts which is the common method used by them. You can alter your email address by adding text that invalidates the address but it is still understandable by the other people.
2. If it is possible use a fake address whenever you sign up for something online. Make sure that you deactivate any option that asks you to receive any promotional offer, if you want or send an email from a company and you are using your real address. An alternative method to minimize the spamming is to use an address from a free Web based account, so that spam mail goes on that mail address not in your main account.
3. Sometimes the spammer notice that you are opening the suspected mail or display them in the Reading pane, if you open them the spammer confirms that your address is legitimate. So never open those mails for which you are not sure.
In spite of these precautions, if you get spam the Outlook Junk Email feature is another option to cover. Spam filter is that feature which examines each and every message received to look for significant sign of spammers. If Outlook decides that a message is spam then it automatically put that message in the Junk email folder so that you don’t deal with that message directly. If you find that Outlook is doing something wrong that it put lots of spam mail in inbox folder or Outlook is generating too many false result as positive. Then go through the following settings:
Choose Actions, Junk Email, Junk E-mail Options, select the Option tab from the Junk Email Options dialog box and select any one from the following protection levels:
No Automatic Filtering—after shut off the Junk email filter still moves the messages from block sender to the Junk email folder. You should select this level when you handle spamming using your own message rules.
Low—this is a default protection level that moves messages with spam content to the Junk Email folder.
High—it move slightly spam content messages to the Junk email folder. This level catch all incoming spam mail but also sometimes makes few false results positive.
Safe Lists Only—these lists are called as "white list" that defines who can send you an email. This level is useful if you receive non-spam messages from those people you know.
