This is the first one, since I perceive the issue to be very important
(especially since this is an email-based form of communication). Here are
some suggestions, based on my experience (without hypertext links, look them
up yourself - Google is your friend):
- Try Mailwasher, learn how it works. It is a free program
- If you can, at your mailserver, use Spamassasin
- Never open questionable emails, just delete them
- Run up-to-date anti-virus software
- Use a firewall
- Make sure your OS is up to date
- Learn how to use the built-in filters in your email program
- If you do not need to receive emails from unknown senders, create a
whitelist
- Never respond to SPAM, even if it says "click here to be removed from our
list"
