spam

Service	Description
A guide to spam	You’ve received it, you don’t want it, you don’t understand who it’s from or what it’s about. So just press Delete. Or, if you want to recognise, report or block some of the offensive, fraudulent or just plain annoying email that very occasionally gets through GreenNet’s anti-spam systems (or that you’ve come across with other email providers), here is a rundown of the main types.
Filtering out spam	You can set your email program to move spam straight to the junk folder, either using any system the program has, or with GreenNet’s own pretty accurate markers.
Form spam	Frequently asked questions and answers about spam received on or via websites.
Greylisting and email error 450	GreenNet uses an effective anti-spam method called greylisting. Occasionally it may cause delays or even bounces emailing someone at GreenNet. However, in most cases this should be resolved at the sending server.
How to avoid email spam	E-mail spam, also called junk email or unsolicited bulk email (UBE), is now an unfortunate fact of life for most internet users. GreenNet does more than most to remove spam. What can you do to reduce your chance of getting spam, or to deal with it if you do?
Obfuscating email addresses on your website	Avoiding spam from your web page - disguising your email address If you have a web site, then a 'mailto' link is a very convenient for anybody browsing to click on, and then use their usual e-mail software to compose and send you a message. However, it is also convenient for spammers.
Outgoing mail wrongly classed as spam or phishing by Microsoft software	Occasionally your correspondents may tell that messages you have sent have been detected as junk mail or “phishing” by the recipient’s email program, such as Outlook 2007 or Windows Mail. This is principally a problem with the receiving software, and here we describe a few things you can do to reduce the likelihood of your email being misclassified as suspicious.
