❌ If you're not getting spam now, you will soon and probably lots of it. What can you do to get rid of it? There's no magic answer, but there are various things you can do to help.

Getting rid of spam
Spam cannot be stopped, only managed. This means spam gets routed to your spam or junk folder, and only legitimate email appears in your inbox.

– Learn the nuances of your available spam filters.
– Learn how to use an allowlist.
– Protect your primary email address.
– Check regularly for false positives.
– Mark any spam in your inbox as spam.
– Never mark email you’ve asked for as spam.
– Consider a spam filter with a good reputation, like Gmail.
