Tips for SPAM

I'm sure you have all had that annoying spam being sent to your friends from your email address.... Well you can solve that by adding a contact in your contacts list that is aaa@aaa.com. This will be the first contact in your list always and the spam will hit it first and see a bad email address. this sometimes stops the spam right there and it won't go any further into your contacts list, but most importantly is that it will send a notification to your email that delivery to aaa@aaa.com couldn't be done. This tells you that something or someone has gotten into your email and is trying to send out spam mail to your friends. From there you can have a search done on your comuter to make sure there is no spambot on it sending out emails and second and most importantly you should change the password into your email account.
