> 1. Avoid putting your email address online as much as you can. Instead,
> spell it out like this: me (at) trishacupra (dot) com. This is because
> spammers get there lists of addresses by harvesting email addresses off
> web pages.
>
> 2. Have a separate email address for mailing lists, online forums, and
> subscriptions to eZines/newsletters.
>
> 3. Use a Gmail email account as the separate address - the spam filter
> will get rid of a lot of the junk automatically.
>
> Hope this helps,
> Trisha
