be anti-spam friendly

Here some tips on how you can be anti-spam friendly

never buy any products or services advertised in spam messages

Buying products and services advertised in spam emails supports the spamming community. If no-one purchases the products and services offered in spam messages, then businesses will stop paying to advertise their products, and the spammers will lose clients and money.
Also you may never see the product, as more often that not, it's a fraudulent operation.

protect the email addresses of your family, friends and colleagues

When sending mass emails to your contact lists, send them using the BCC field (blind copy). By doing this you are ensuring their privacy and protecting their email addresses from others. Encourage everyone you know to do this.

avoid forwarding chain emails

Often we receive emails that make us laugh, sad or even ask us to support a particular cause. Normally, it requests that you forward it on to your friends and family (and sometimes they even say you�ll be granted a wish by doing so). Avoid the temptation and just delete it as it's likely to be a hoax. Spammers love these types of emails as it's a great way to capture lots of addresses.
