If you have an email address that you find is inundated with spam, you might want to check out SpamCop. This service has been around forever. According to the Wayback Machine, the earliest cached version of their website is from April 22, 1999, and the site says they were established in 1998!
Although it requires a little bit of time and effort to do the spam reports, I do find it helps, especially if I'm getting the same spam emails over and over. Invariably, after reporting, they will stop. New ones will eventually start again, but this does seem to lessen the load.
SpamCop has an online tool to submit an individual spam email's header info, but the easiest way to use the service is to select a number of different spam emails in your email client and choose "forward as Attachments".
Forwarding emails to SpamCop
You can then send the attachments to an email address shown under the "Report Spam" tab on SpamCop's website (you have to be logged in for this).
Web mail services like Gmail do a pretty good job of filtering out spam. But if you still feel your inbox is getting more junk than you'd prefer, you might want to give SpamCop a try.
Now on to this week's tools!
