Spam : A computer term for unwanted e-mail.
Anti-spamming techniques:
1. Stop Spam with Disposable Email Addresses
Using your real, primary email address anywhere on the Web puts it at risk of being picked up by spammers.
And once an email address is in the hands of one spammer, your Inbox is sure to be filled with lots of not-so-delicious spam every day.
But what should you use instead of a real email address?
Use a free webmail from yahoo, Gmail ,hotmail etc for Web posting , blog sites
Use your real primary email for well known websites like railway, banking, ecommerce sites etc.
2. Watch Out for those Checkboxes
When you sign up for something on the Web, there is often at the end of the form saying something like:
a. "YES, I want to be contacted by select third parties concerning products I might be interested inâ€.
Quite often, the checkbox next to that text is already checked and your email address will be given to you don't know who.
b. While browsing a popup message like this “Your computer is slow , click here for scan your computerâ€
Solution: Watch carefully before submit a form or Popup box

4. Don't Believe Spammers When They Say "You Requested"
There are two words that you will find in almost any unsolicited bulk email: you requested.
Don't believe it. Spammers count on your uncertainty and that in doubt you will rather not take any action and complain about the spam. Chances are, however, that you did not request anything,
5. Don't Use the link "This is Spam" or "Click here to Unsubscribe"
The "This is Spam" button is an easy and effective way to get rid of spam, but you should make sure you use it only for spam. Otherwise, bad karma may not be the only unpleasant consequence.
6. Use a Good Anti-Spam Software
Achieve a near spam-free email account by employing one of the great anti-spam tools that filter junk mail using all kinds of clever strategies.
