Alibaba Mail:How to Prevent Spam When Using Alibaba Mail

Last Updated:Apr 01, 2024

Overview

As long as you have an email address, you can't avoid receiving spam. This article focuses on how Alibaba Mail can prevent spam.

Detailed Information

If you receive spam while using your email, please report the spam in the Webmail. We will send the information of this email to the international anti-spam organization for inspection and judgment, so as to fundamentally cut off the source of the spam. At the same time, please pay attention to the following points in the process of using the email at ordinary times to prevent spam.

  • Don't respond to unfamiliar emails or spam. If the sender has set up the read receipt function, and you check the email or reply to the email after you receive the email, the other party will receive the information you check or reply to, so that the other party will know that your email exists and you will receive more spam.

  • When registering the accounts for some platforms, please do not use your real email address to register if you do not have to. If you often use a certain email account to register in large quantities on the Internet (many forums require email addresses), you will receive more and more spam in the future.

  • Don't try to click on any links in spam emails. Some spammers will automatically collect the information of the clicker, when you click on the link to enter the corresponding website, there will be a risk of data disclosure.

  • Do not download spam or strange email attachments to avoid being hacked or leaked.

  • Don't log in and sign up for sites that promise to remove your name from spam lists.

  • Keep your email address and don't tell people you don't trust.

  • Do not subscribe to unhealthy e-magazines to prevent them from being collected by spam collectors.

  • Use the auto forwarding function of the email account with caution. In order to reflect the efficient and fast characteristics of the Internet, many websites and email sending and receiving tools have set up the auto forwarding function. Although this is convenient, if the automatic reply is set up between the two contacts, then the mailboxes of both parties are full of junk emails of automatic reply. If this function is not used properly, everyone will become a spammer.

  • Use a dedicated email account for private communication, and use other email account to subscribe to the e-magazines.

  • If you receive promotional emails from some previously registered platforms, check whether there is an unsubscribe function on the corresponding platforms to unsubscribe and reduce spam.
