Junk Mail - Does It WorkWe all receive junk mail and one has to assume that companies would not send out all this stuff without some return but nobody that I know will admit to using it so why do they continue ?And what do you do with yours. |

Unless the spammer has picked up on some innocent person's email and is using that, in which case you are subjecting them to additional spam (and risk having your address classed as a spammer). Far better to forward to a spam registration service, such as BAYES, that will then be used to update spam classification for the benefit of all. |

Junk through my letter box is hellish. I am registered with MPS - free service click here...

Other junk mail which piles up on your doorstep can be stopped via the post office, all that without yoru name on it, but this also stops all the local stuff which you may like to get, e.g. Town Crier, Calne news etc.. Send it back in all the freepost envelopes is what I do if I have time. Spam mail does not particularly bother me at all. It costs nothing and is dead easy to elliminate. |
