Just in case there are people here who don't know about this trick I learned by myself to stop spams, here it is:
My email system is provided by Yahoo. It has a filtering function by which you can set the criteria whereby emails coming to you can be automatically assigned to the inbox or trash box or buik mail box or your own set up box.
One day I decided to filter all emails coming to me to the trash box: all emails absolutely, by using the criterion that if the body of the mail has * letters, it goes to the trash box.
You know what happened, from that time onward I have received only non-spam emails, or at most one or two spam mails.
How did this filtering stop spams? I think spam senders seem to know what prospective email receivers have filtered all emails to the trash box, so that they adjust their program to not send their spam mails to such email addresses. (Maybe some people here might have the real explanation...)
If your email system has a filtering device, try this trick.
