Exchanging links and commenting on other’s blogs are routine for webmasters with the purpose of getting inbound links. In these scenarios, you have to fill in your email address. Once your email address is taken down, spam or junk emails will appear in your email box now and then. Here are some tips to reduce spam or junk email when using JustHost.
Spam Assassin, a spam filter in JustHost, is very helpful. It is a software running inside the JustHost servers. It checks each email your email box receives and filter the junk email to a junk email folder. Using Spam Assassin is even easier than you expect. It is built in the cPanel, requires no installation and configuration. Firstly, log into cPanel of JustHost and find the “Email Management” menu. Then click on “Spam Assassin” and select “Enable Spam Assassin”. Now, your spam filter is set up and running.
Using more than one email address is another tips to reduce spam or junk email. For example I use mike@mikeshostingwatch.com (of course this is a false email address) for personal communication with my friends, use public@mikeshostingwatch.com (false email address as well) for blog commenting and forum discussion. I try my best not to leave the personal email address to any public areas on the Internet. Because many automated bots crawl the web collecting email addresses 24/7. In result, mike@mikeshostingwatch.com will receive no junk email, and the public ones will receive many junk emails. With the help of spam filter, it is easy to find out real emails in public email box.
JustHost can set up unlimited email accounts. It is totally free and easy to set up. So you can use the tips above with no extra cost.
