How much spam or junk mail did you receive last month in your snail mail box? Are you blaming your Post office?How much spam or junk mail did you receive past days through your free e-mail accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, Gmail..?) Are you blaming your e-mail provider for it?
How much junk mail have you received past month in your IMAP or SMTP account, or your Smartphone, your blog, your web site….. who do you blame?
Why do you blame your hosting company for your web site or blog for the spam you receive?
Hosting companies are not responsible for your account traffic, nor are to be blamed for allowing your presence on the internet to be known and accessed.
Any time you subscribe online or fill a form, this traffic is recorded and propagated.
The more online exposure to your site, blog or advertisement (that is if you doing your SEO, SES and marketing campaign correctly), the more likely you will receive spam. This means that you have visibility and people can reach you.
There are many options to block spam, junk mail or unwanted contacts. Your service and hosting providers have a built in setting to do just that. BUT it is up to you if you are using this option or disregard the function of it.
For example:
Free hosted e-mail accounts have settings for your white list, black list, also option to use key words for subjects or message data that you want to block.
MS Outlook has settings along with rules and automated process that would eliminate and delete these incoming links.
Web sites and blogs have settings along with available plug-ins that can be used to weave spam and junk.
The next time you find overwhelmed by spam or junk, please check your settings and try not to blame others but yourself of not keeping your lists, keywords, or rules up to date.
