Describe three of the six steps you can take to avoid spam as presented in this chapter.

What will be an ideal response?

Never reply to spam when you receive it.

Don't click links in e-mail messages, even if it's an opt-out link.

Give your e-mail address only to people from whom you want to receive e-mail. Be wary of providing your e-mail address at Web sites, entering it on application forms, or posting it in public places such as online discussion groups.

Use a disposable e-mail address when you register for online sites. You can use this disposable address to get your confirmation number for online registrations, but don't use it for regular e-mail correspondence.

If your e-mail provider offers a way to report spam, use it.

When spam gets out of hand, consider changing your e-mail account so that you have a different e-mail address.
