Steps to Reduce Unsolicited Commercial Email.
You receive unsolicited email for products or
services or "spam" because your email address has been copied by person or by a computer program that searches websites and newsgroup postings for email addresses. Sites that are created by Frontier Interactive
contain code in the homepages which prevents the computer programs from recognizing your email address. I have observed less spam since using the code. However, there are other sources of spam and unsolicited
email seems to reach you, me, and others. Steps to Reduce Unsolicited Email.
Frontier Interactive can
control the receipt of unsolicited email by blocking it out from the server. The following directions are for server clients of Frontier Interactive. Follow the directions for the browser and version which you use to
access your email from the careerfrontier.net server:
Netscape Communicator 4.04 or higher
- In Netscape, from File menu, select 'New Folder". Name folder as "spam" as a sub-folder of Inbox.
- As you receive unsolicited email, or other unwanted email, move the messages to the spam folder you created.
- When the spam folder contains about ten email messages, send an email to
antispam@careerfrontier.net
with your spam file as an attachment according to the directions below. Do not simply give me the email addresses of the spammers. For technical reasons, I need a copy of the actual email messages that contains sender information in the header of the message that you can't see.
- Begin a new email to
antispam@careerfrontier.net .
- Click on the attachment ico. Select "File".

the file named spam.s
nm.
