Subscriptions and e-mail Accounts
When I first started out subscribing to lists and various sites, I used different e-mails for my businesses. Boy that was a huge mistake. I like
organizing things, but all I really ended up with was a spam empire that just sucked up precious time. So I quickly decided to use just one or possibly two e-mail accounts for any and all subscriptions everywhere. Now hardly any spam gets to my true e-mail addresses. Once I am a little more serious about the opp, proposition or subscription, I change the contact e-mail address for that business to a different e-mail address.
Sometimes though a list you subscribe to may become hacked by a third party. Next thing you know you are getting all kinds of spam.
Time to change the e-mail address again? If you have complete control of your e-mail
addresses, create a new address and forward the messages you need to keep to the new address. Change your list subscription to your new e-mail address. Once you have forwarded and checked your mail and changed your e-mail address at the
subscription site, then delete the old e-mail address from your sites e-mail accounts. If you used the e-mail address for other lists or sites, remember to visit those sites and change that information too.
At that point all e-mail
sent to the spammed address should be returned to the sender, if your sites default mail settings are set to recognize “No Such Address”. Depending on how you administer your sites default mail settings or how it has been set up for you,
determines what happens to bad e-mail messages. On some servers, all bad e-mails are captured to a default address.
A default address could exist for your Cpanel login account user name. Any mail not recognized at the site may be
dumped into this account.
But this is not a good idea, since your site can get bloated with a lot of junk mail. If this happens you need to open the default address, delete what you don’t want to clear space, and then reset your sites default mail setting to return to sender and discard any new unrecognized e-mail.
