Email Fight Club Rules

Follow these 10 common sense suggestions to avoid problems of e-mail.

1. All Suspect: The majority of unsolicited email is harmless junk from someone just waiting to make a sale or generate a list. However, there are some unscrupulous players there (you know ... what has the rich uncle that just died in Nigeria) who are trying to scam. Never respond to these e-mails unsolicited. Even "unsubscribe" will alert the sender that your e-mail address is being used. While it is of interest and a list of Web site, type it into your browser to check out.

2. "Just Say No" to Porn: Nancy Reagan was right! You know where the bad stuff comes from, so filter it out. Messaging software filtering tools will reject your e-mail addresses of spammers frequent e-mail, or with certain words ( "sex", "porn", or "Meds free, "for example) in the subject line. It is easy to configure. Simply log on to your e-mail, click" Settings "and follow the instructions. Even though I could imagine this one without asking my wife for help!

3. Avoid SPAM - It's Nasty: Almost every Internet Service Provider has a spam blocker these days. If yours does not (you should probably change), there are several good third party spam blocking services such as Brightmail (www.brightmail.com). I have multiple mail accounts, and for kicks I note how much email gets tossed into the spam folder every day. Typically, it averages about 2500 - 3000 per account. I run a couple of companies Internet, so this number is slightly above average for a single User. I do however, thank the geeks that developed spam blocking every day.

4. Registered Users Anonymous: Unless you're involved in Internet Commerce of some sort (such as exposure and want much as possible), you should pull your list of services to large directory. You probably never (intentionally), signed in the first place, but the Chances are, your e-mail address is included in some databases large. Directories such as Bigfoot, Infospace, Switchboard, People Yahoo Search, and Whowhere are good about taking your listing down if you ask them.

5. Scramble Your Eggs: Encrypt and digitally sign all your emails confidential. This is a bit of pain, but you just need to get burnt once to know how important it is. If your messaging software not support strong encryption, you can download the encryption software PGP Freeware for (http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html href = ""> http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html). Leave it to the geeks at MIT (No offense intended Matt). Most messaging systems have the capacity encryption standard industry. If you're like me, you probably just never cared to watch.

6. Use Zip-Locks: Zip and Encrypt important attachments. Most modern computers come with WinZip installed. If you have not, you can find it at (www.winzip.com). Easy to use software that will compress and password protect your attachments.

7. Do not Eat the Cookies: Cookies are trackers that remember your IP address. They are convenient to the sites you use often and do not want to go through the process of validation. However, some criminals will send e-mail with a kind a "collector" cookie "to snag your info. Problem here is that you might already be a goner before you realize it a false e-mail (especially if you neglect suggestion 3). To avoid cookies sent via email, use the client software e-mail, such as Eudora Pro, which lets off mechanism of automatic processing of Web Browser. This step is a little hard core for the average Joe, but those who need to know who you are.

8. Mind Your Own Business: Avoid using your browser to read email on someone else's machine. If you are a busy body and insist on snooping, use always "Clear History" when done to prevent subsequent users from getting into your mailbox.

9. Never get "Personal" at work: Violation of this simple rule becomes more people burned than any other act of defiance in the modern workplace. We had quite the network of videos large (You know the kind I mean) and jokes floating around the LAN on the last ship that sailed inside .. until one of those IT Server showed me what can spy. Trust me - BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING! Never send sensitive personal messages on your machine working.

10. We Norton Cook: This is so basic that you probably should be burned if you blow this one. Keep your antivirus software updated. I know it sucks when it's time to pay again, especially when you had a problem for two years ... but paying for those routine updates is probably why you not. If the hard drive fried today, would you pay $ 30 for someone to do it right this time better? Thought so - Update it!

And the No. 1 rule of Fight Club is ...

........... NEVER NEVER under any circumstances EVER EVER leave your e-mail address registered in your desk unoccupied at work! If you do, you have no one to blame but yourself. A co-worker to open e-mail is fair game - and is "Take No Prisoners" time!

Well, that's it. Some basic do's and don'ts that will keep you in the fight and keep you out of trouble.
