Bagaimana kita dapat memproteksi agar terhindar masalah email yang dikemudian hari akan mengirimkan email ke orang yang dikenali pesan yang seakan-akan memang sengaja dikirim tapi palsu, perlu baca tips dibawah. 

Don't make yourself an easy target for spam. Spam can be a real headache.
But with Yahoo!   Mail's spam protection (and a little common sense), you can keep your   mailbox relatively free of annoying junk mail.
Here are some tips to   keep in mind:   

• Protect your email   address

Treat your email address like your phone number —   something you give out selectively. Don't post it in public places like   message boards or chat rooms. When you need to supply an email address,   use Yahoo! Mail You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login   (available to Yahoo! Mail Plus users) to create disposable addresses.   

(Cuma iklan Yahoo untuk menggunakan "Addressguard" yang hanya tersedia kalau   kita migrasi ke layanan Yahoo Plus, tentunya harus bayar.)

• Don't open or respond to unsolicited messages

By opening an email you think is spam, you could be inadvertently alerting the sender that your email address is active. Spammers often hide things in messages to verify someone has opened it, and then sell the address to others. Oh and also, please don't forward spam chain letters to others.   

(kalau tidak kenal, atau subject: pada email tidak jelas... lebih baik di-delete. Juga sering ada surat berantai... dan sebagainya. Email yang di-forward nantinya bisa jadi database.... bagi spammer.)

• Never click on a link in a spam message

By clicking a link within the body of a   spammer's message, you verify that your address is active. You also risk   exposing yourself to phishing scams used by untrustworthy individuals.

(Ini sering menjadi menarik dan kadang pun tidak sengaja untuk di-klik.)
