Tips to Avoid Spam


Join in the fight against spam by remembering the following general words of advice:

USE an alias e-mail address (other than your personal address) if you post to newsgroups or bulletin boards.

AVOID opening unsolicited e-mail. Spam usually means scam and the message may contain a virus that can damage your computer.

DO NOT buy products from or reply to a company that spams - it only encourages them to continue spamming.

SEND a complaint to your Internet Service Provider - if enough people complain, the spammer will be refused access to the system.

DO NOT reply to or forward "chain-letter" e-mail, but if you do, please remember to remove all other email addresses listed in the email. It is extremely rude to forward email addresses all over the net.

GET SaskTel High Speed Internet and get free inline spam filtering from Postini.
