Email (settings, proper use, issues, spam, blacklists, bcc)
From controlling Spam, to preventing viruses, we'll try to add basic tips on how to utilize your email better.
Some things might be topical, as Spammers change their techniques often, sometimes negating older advice. Other might just be common settings, proper use, mis-use, blacklists, and bcc use for those stupid forwards.

Start unsubscribing. Please.
Listen up people, some of you have probably heard the advice of "Don't unsubscribe, because that only verifies your email address."
That's so 1999. How about following advice from 2007. If you don't want to be on a mailing list, unsubscribe.

Maybe it's AOL. Maybe it's the users who gravitate towards AOL. Maybe it's a combo of the two, with AOL giving it's users tools that are too easy to use, and the users misusing them.
All I know is that I am seeing a lot of messages being reported by 'AOL' as spam. Legitimate emails. Emails that the AOL recipient was actually expecting. Yet, somehow it gets reported as spam. Why? What's going on?

Ever notice how a lot of spam comes through with just First Names?
Spammers like to use this technique because everyone probably knows a Joe, John, Mary.
However,
I'm sure that while you are quickly scanning through 100 junk emails on
Monday morning, you are pretty much ignoring most of those First Names,
even if it's your sister's name.
Uh oh. How does YOUR name display in your emails? Is it Spam Like?

Here is a response a friend recently wrote
concerning one of
those wonderful 'forwarded messages' we all seem to get every morning as people
check their Office email:
=================
First of
all.........Hello.
Second of all......how about using the BCC: option on
sending multi-emails out?? I, myself, would appreciate NOT having my e-mail
address displayed to EVERYONE in your address book.
