How do you get rid of spam mail?
Change your email address then don't give that address to anyone other then your friends and associates. Naturally there are sometimes transactions you need to make over the web that require an email address. for these you open a separate email account. if you stick to this regime religiously you will get very little Spam on your main email account and the rest will end up in your second account where you simply wipe it unless you are expecting some thing on it.

What is the difference between a blog and a newsgroup?
There is a major difference between an email listserv and a newsgroup. A listserv allows people to post things, while a newsgroup simply presents the information, and does not allow anyone to post.
How can you keep your email address when you change internet service providers?
Not likely, if the email address was provided by your previous ISP (Internet Service Provider). Because that email account is included in the package of benefits for paying customers. But yes, if the email address is available to anyone, such as webmail (Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc.), or an unrelated POP or POP-compatible email (GMX.net, Inbox.lv, Aim.com, etc., etc.).
What does spam stand for in computer terms?
It doesn't stand for anything. It was named after the tinned brand of pork and ham called Spam, featured in a Monty Python sketch where it was included in every meal. People will sometimes turn it into an acronym, such as 'S=Stupid P=Pointless A=Annoying M=Messages (SPAM= Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages)', but this is a 'backronym' - the word was coined first as a real word and an acronym form invented afterwards.
How do you stop getting foreign emails?
Do not open them in your email. Delete them or send them to spam immediately. Otherwise, you can change your email and just let the people you know have the address. Set up another email address for times when you need one for online or for a job application. That will keep the spam away from your personal email. You can also change the settings on your email, but that will probably become an annoyance, since some will be important emails that you would rather have.
Anti-spyware software protects your computer from spyware, which are a classification of malicious software that infect your computer and generally (but not always) steal confidential data like credit card numbers or bank account information to rob you of your money. Try downloading SpyBot: Search and Destroy. I personally use it and it is very effective at catching spyware. Over that past 3 years, I have caught two spyware programs on my computer and successfully removed them.
How do you stop unwanted junk mail?
It depends on what kind of email you have and if you use a program (Webmail, Outlook, Hotmail, etc.)
What kind of server translates a domain name to an IP address?
One of the ideas behind the Internet is the fact that you can type in a friendly name and get directed to the site instead of the more unfriendly IP address. How is this possible?
The type of server is called the DNS server (or Domain name server)
The two can be easily compared to a phone book. Need to figure out a phone number? You look up the last name. Same idea, instead the phone number is the IP address, and the last name is the friendly name of the site (such as "answers.com")
Actually there is IP address(internet protocol address)
and ISP (Internet service provider)

What should you do if you receive spam?
Here's the summary from Ken Hollis and the alt.spam FAQ:
First off NEVER reply to the "Remove Me" e-mail addresses or sites. This only confirms that you have a live e-mail address and makes *your* e-mail address more valuable to sell to other spammers.
Start off by reading the spam FAQ in the related link below.
It may take a while to digest all of the new information, but just read it and see what you can get out of it.
Start complaining to the ISP (Internet Service Provider) of where the spam came from. Understanding the "Received:" headers is key to this. Trace back in the Received: header to where it looks like the spam came from and complain to that provider about the spam.
Look in the body of the e-mail. If someone tells you to reply to back to a e-mail address or if they point you to a web site then complain to the ISP owner of that web site or e-mail address (NEVER complain to the spammer, they already know it is wrong and will ignore you).
These steps will help get the spammers accounts eliminated.
Will it stop you from getting spam? Probably not. If spammers have your e-mail address it is already too late. They are selling your address to each other, passing it around. About the only way to do that is to change your e-mail address and give it out to as few people as possible.
Delete the message, block the sender, and contact the police if it contains bad content.
How can Email Spam be blocked?
Unfortunately, there is no foolproof way to prevent spam from invading a computer, particular when using the web. The best options are to use a malware and virus protector, scan any suspicious emails, and also ensure that websites are safe to use.
How do you stop spoof spam Email from your own Email address?
You can't stop it. You can only stop receiving it.Solution: Filter out emails from your own email address. Or delete them from the mail server if you can. The specific way to set up such a filter depends on which email client or webmail service you use. There are too many email clients and webmail services to give specific filtering instructions for here. However, it's not hard to figure out how to do that. Helpful Ideas: A.) For my webmail accounts I set a filtering rule like: If 'From' = 'me@myaddress.com', Then Send to 'Trash'. B.) For my POP email accounts I use the free "Email Remover" program to delete all spam directly from the mail server, before opening my email client program. But my email client isn't set to check automatically for new emails. That's common. A lot of spammers spoof (fake) the "From" address to make it appear as if it's from your own email address. It really isn't from your address though, as you can verify if you read the information in the email headers. Presumably, they think you'll be more likely to open it out of curiosity if it looks as if it's 'from' your own address.

Presumably, they think you'll be more likely to open it out of curiosity if it looks as if it's 'from' your own address. Delete it without opening it, unless you've recently sent yourself email from that same address, which isn't necessary at all. If you must send yourself email reminders or whatever, use 2 or more email addresses and send yourself emails from one to the other. Solution: Filter out emails from your own email address.

Why do some emails go to spam?
Filters may be set up to automatically route messages from certain domains or addresses, or with certain words ("keywords") or phrases in the subject line or message text, to a spam folder. This is one of the reasons spammers use subject headers that have nothing to do with what they're selling, or substitute characters in keywords ("V1agra", "ph@rm@cy", "er*ction," "me-di-cine", etc.); to get around the filters. Some will even send the message as a .jpg or other graphics file, so there is no text to be caught by a filter.
Where can you make your own free email address?
There are more than a dozen free email services from which to choose. A web search will help you find the one that best suits your needs. Your local internet provider might have it's own email service which will be offered to you.

What are the best spam filter appliances?
"There isn't exactly one specific appliance that is best. In order to get the one you think is best, you must first decide upon a price range after that, look for appliances within that range and read the user reviews. If the appliance has excellent reviews from other users, then most likely it is a good appliance for you to use."
The database of Internet IP addresses and their associated names?
IP addresses are assigned by a particular authority called IANA. IP address is of two types IP version 4 and version 6. The database where names corresponding to IP address are stored is called name space.
Where does email spam get its name?
The name is said to come from a Monty Python skit in which the word "Spam" (referring to the tinned meat product) is repeated dozens of times. Spam email is similar in that it is repeated endlessly and annoyingly.

If you haven't entered the lottery then you can not have won. Furthermore you would have had to enter online and then they would know your name and use it in the correspondence.
This is a scam, trying to get personal information from you, do not respond. The people who set this up want to steal money from naive people who want to get rich quickly, and sadly there are hundreds of people like that in the world. Do not respond because you will be disappointed.
