Protecting Mailboxes from Spam
To protect your mailbox from undesirable correspondence, do not publish your e-mail
address on Internet forums and switch on the server-side spam filter provided by the
SpamAssassin software.
When you need to publish your e-mail address, create a disposable e-mail address - e-
mail alias - for your primary e-mail address, and publish it instead. All messages sent to
the e-mail alias will come into your mailbox. Once you start getting spam, remove that
alias and create another one. If you have a mailbox at another domain or mail server,
you may want to set up a disposable e-mail forwarder.
Another efficient measure that can reduce the amount of spam and phishing e-mail
messages is DomainKeys. For instructions on setting up spam protection based on
DomainKeys, refer to the section Setting Up Spam Protection Based on DomainKeys
(on page 67).
