A big part of webmastering is email; sending it, receiving it and keeping space in your inbox. If you miss important emails then it can be costly, very costly if the sender has a time limit on a reply from you!

You may think it sounds stupid that you might miss an email, but this is exactly what happened to me. I had put my email address on a website in plain text, soon all the nasty bots came along and saved my email address so they could spam the hell out of it. At the time I didn’t realise this sort of thing went on!

How To Stop It
To stop it the best option is to get some email spam protection, it only costs a few dollars per month and can save you a hell of a lot of time. I used to hate it when I would login to my website and be prepared for literally hundreds of messages, 95% of them being spam! With an email spam blocker you don’t have to worry about spam.

You may spend a few dollars a month protecting yourself from the spammers but the time you will save means you can spend longer working on important things - like increasing profits!
