What are the top ten rules of email?
1 Always have an up to date antivirus package 2 Do not accept mail with attachments even from relatives if you can help it (unless you are specifically expecting something) - and not ever from strangers 3 Always use at least one spam filter 4 Always have your email software set NOT to display images, there is usually a link to see them if you want, but it saves unpleasant surprises - visual or embedded 5 Never use your mail email address to opt-in for anything, once you are on spammers lists, within a very short time it will be unusable 6 Never put your email address openly on a web page.

What does spam mean on YouTube comments?
The term "spam" generally means unwanted messages which try to sell you something or trick you into buying a product or even downloading malicious software or viruses. Comments marked as spam on YouTube are hidden, usually because they contain chain mail, links to services or dubious web sites.
An example of spam might be:
*OMG COPY AND PASTE THIS ONTO 6 DIFFERENT VIDS THEN GET ON CLUB PENGUIN HOLD DOWN F5 WHEN YOU LOG ON TO CLUBPENGUIN THEN HOLD DOWN F6 WHEN YOU LOGON TO CLUB PENGUIN THEN WHEN YOU LOG ON CLICK ON YOUR PENGUIN AND YOU WILL BE A FULL MEMBER AND YOU WILL HAVE MAIL WHEN YOU CLICK ON YOUR PENGUIN IT WILL SAY… CONGRATS YOU ARE A MEMBER FOR 42,0000000000000000 YEARS!!! THEN CLICK ON YOUR PENGUIN AGAIN AND U WILL HAVE THE SAME AMOUT OF COINS AS YOUR MEMBERSHIP*
Marking comments as spam helps improves the user experience as hiding these unwanted comments means you don't have to read them.

How do you hide your email address using a mailto link when posting in forums?
If your goal is to prevent spammers and email harvesters from detecting and using your email address to send unwanted mail to you, then using a mailto link is not recommended.
There are various ways to reduce the chances that your email address will be used to send spam and other unwanted mail to you.
Use HTML character codes:
Original mailto link
mailto:johnsmith@wikianswers.com
Mailto link using HTML character coding
mailto:johnsmith@wikianswers.com
: = colon
@ = @
. = .
You can also write the mailto link replacing all of your text with its HTML character code equivalent making it more difficult (but not impossible) for email harvesters to read.
For example, the HTML character code equivalent for the word mailto would be,
MAILTO
Disposable e-mail addresses:
There are many services on the Internet that provide disposable or temporary e-mail addresses which allows you to use multiple email addresses that forwards to your real email address and that can be deleted or left to expire if you are getting unwanted mail through a disposable email address.
Address munging:
Another way is to simply alter the presentation of an email address that is displayed in plain text such as the following examples.
johnsmith at wikianswers dot com
johnsmith-at-wikianswers-dot-com
johnsmith@wikianswers.com.nospam
Using images to display your email address is not recommended because it presents accessibility issues for users with screen readers and text only Web browsers.

What is the purpose of sending spam mail?
Spam composes roughly 84% of all emai sent every day, but has been dropping some since the 2010 conviction of some BotNet creators.
A BotNet is a collection of computers that have been compromised to send out spam without the computer's owner knowing about it. This makes the cost of ownership and bandwidth practically non-existant for BotNet creators. Just one computer, such as a laptop at a coffee shop, is needed to send out an update to millions of these 'Zombie' machines.
It seems that one person in 12.5 Million, actually replies and purchases a product through spam. That one person makes up a 'Net Gain' for the spam sending BotNet and the companies that pay the spammers to send out their message.
A large chunk of Spam is actually based in crime. The products are fake but the form to send in your credit card information is not.
What is a spam with relation to electronic mails?
E-mail spam, also known as bulk e-mail or junk e-mail is a subset of spam that involves sending nearly identical messages to numerous recipients by e-mail. A common synonym for spam is unsolicited bulk e-mail (UBE). Some definitions of spam specifically include the aspects of email that is unsolicited and sent in bulk
Here is a quote, from what I got after typing "spam" in the answers.com search engine: "Simple math. Suppose that out of 2,000 spam messages, one person clicks the link, and the spammer makes $1. If a million spams were sent that day, the spammer made $500, and the job might have taken a half hour to set up. That means only a few hours per week could yield $100,000 a year. Is that incentive enough for high-school students, or would they rather go back to their paper routes? Of course, consistent revenues are not guaranteed, but some spammers make a whole lot more than $100,000 every year. In any case, there is ample motivation." In other words, some people, who get this spam DO check it out.
Do not open it. Do not click on any links if you did open it. Delete the email.
