Ask HN: Strategies for Dealing with Email Spam?
2 by chiyc | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I've been receiving junk mail recently at an incredible rate. Outlook had some trouble filtering them out at first, but it seems like it's finally caught on. Unfortunately, I still feel like I can't avoid looking through the junk folder though because I'll inevitably miss something I need that gets thrown in there. What strategies do you have for dealing with spam? Aliases and filtering rules? Are particular providers better at dealing with it? Do I just dump this address for a new one?
