Most of us get endless promotional e-mails each and every day. It comes to the point that those messages are just flooding your inbox preventing you from seeing good stuff. Also it is not that difficult to notice that some "gurus" bombard your inbox more often than the others. And that is where it gets super-annoying. And the worst case scenario is when your adderss is shared between "gurus' or they put you on every list they have which floods your inbox with identical messages. Quite often it gets so frastrating that you have to change your e-mail address to stop it all. But when you do that you lose all the other connections which are good and useful. Here is the trick how to stop all those annoying messages without changing your e-mail address or wasting your time on unsubscribing from numerous lists. - When you sign up on any website make sure in the Name field you indicate the name or URL of a website you are signing up from. This way you can easily track who is sending you e-mails. - When you notice that you get too much mailings from some "gurus" and want to stop them all you do is to set up your e-mail filter to block all mails which contain your coded "name" you used to sign up from that particular website. This way all mail containing your "coded name" will be blocked while the other legit mail will go through.
That's a really good idea about adding the URL in the name field. I've been getting tons of "E-zines" that I never signed up for, right along with the ones that I have.
Indeed a good trick. Do you mind if i added my way to deal with it? That why i don't use my primary email when signing up newsletter from doggy site. I always use secondary email whenever signing for those kind of site
I get out my email sender and spam them back with hundreds of useless mails from different accounts. Hate those bastards!
I have an email address that I use for signing up for free stuff. My main email addresses are never involved...
