Spam Blockers And The Average Consumer
By Scott Lindsay
Spam blockers are absolutely essential to sanity in email
correspondence. Chances are pretty strong that if you have signed up
for something online you will be barraged with emails. It is also quite
probable that your email address will be sold to third party marketers
and you will receive unwanted correspondence from more than one
party.
This is why spam blocking is so important. (continued below ...)

likelihood of this dread scourge and may send it to your spam folder
bypassing your inbox. One of the primary filters used to determine spam
is whether the email is sent to you individually or if it is part of a
multi-recipient list.
You can go into your spam folder and whitelist or tell your spam folder to
allow certain emails through even if they appear to be spam from the
standpoint of your email protocol.
Another filer for spam retention is based on certain keywords. There are
standard keywords and then there are keywords you might want to
include.
You can check your spam folder and attempt to unsubscribe from
whatever list thinks you are a part of it. However, there is some
speculation that any correspondence with a spammer may ultimately
result in more unwanted emails. Why? Simply because the spammer
now knows that someone actually owns the email address and looks
through the information that is sent. This is reminiscent of the time prior
to the do not call list when computers phoned individuals hoping that
someone would answer. When they did, that number was often sold as
an active account and sold to other telemarketing firms.
The good news is most email programs will flush the spam periodically
so, unless you think you might actually have email to review in your
spam folder, your email program should remove the unwanted emails
eventually and regularly.
I suppose spam blockers may be one of the best ways to manage this
problem. If online email becomes too regulated it also becomes nearly
impossible to do business using email marketing. I have even found
evidence (and you probably have, too) that even correspondence you
may desire can be caught in the spam folder. It doesn't hurt to review
your spam folder from time to time just to make sure there isn't
something you need.
One of the downfalls of spam blockers is when they see a large number
of emails coming in from one email address and determine that this is
an abuse and render that sender to the spam folder.
I have a friend who provides a service of historical data for each day of
the year. He always sends that information in advance and some clients
find the emails in the spam folder simply because a weeks worth of daily
content was mailed on the same day.
Spam blockers are becoming increasingly intuitive and are doing an
admirable job in keeping unwanted messages from reaching your inbox.
