These days most web hosting packages coming with free email accounts and you will be able to create as many of these accounts as you like. And if your website is for business purposes, then having all these email accounts can be really advantageous. Separate email accounts will enable you to get everything more organised and it will make it easier for you to keep your private emails and business emails separate. Unfortunately having these extra email accounts with your web hosting can also mean getting a lot more spam. The tips below should help you to cope with this problem.

 

- Spam Assassin is an application which comes with cPanel and this can really help. This can be a great way of filtering spam and you can even set up your own specifications as to how you want it to work.

 

- It is probably best to choose private domain registration as this will help keep you off the spammer’s radar.

 

- When it comes to choosing email address names then try not to pick anything which is too obvious. Spammers will find it easy to figure out names like your name@ or info@.

 

- If you are using a catchall then you might want to disable this. You can reduce the amount of spam that you get in your inbox by disabling the catchall; otherwise any mail which is sent to you will be saved in your inbox.

 

- If you intend to be using your email address on lots of other sites for registration accounts direct the mail to a separate inbox that you don’t use for other purposes. That can mean that you won’t end up getting too much spam and you can actually close this account without too much hassle if needs be.

 

Spam can be a real hassle for website owners but hopefully these tips will help lessen the problem.
