内容简介

If you have e-mail, you have spam - that annoying electronic junk mail that jams your inbox, sometimes makes you blush, and takes a lot of the fun out of your online experience. Spam wastes thousands of hours and costs you, the recipient of the stuff you don't want, thousands of dollars in increased costs that your Internet service provider eventually passes along to you. In fact, a European survey in 2001 revealed that spam costs about $9.4 billion each year! Spammers spam because they're not paying for it, you are. The good news is, you can fight back, and "Fighting Spam For Dummies" tells you how. It helps you find out: where spam comes from; how to set up spam filters; how folders help filter out spam; what additional programs can help; where-and how-to report spam; and, how best to lobby for spam control. In this work, you'll get plain-English explanation for activating any additional protection offered by your ISP, and discover how to make the best use of any spam filter.
