Spam Safety Using Mail.app

[Jack Rodgers]

Open Internet Connect so you can see the thermometers. If you click on  
a spam subject line, chances are you will see activity as info is being 
sent to the spammers site. Some will not as they do not have web bugs 
or graphics. But many do.

So, to Delete Spam use Command A to select all in the Junk folder then 
delete the spam. Or simply set your preferences to delete it after a 
week giving you enough time to check to see if a good email got 
filtered.

Option 2. read the spam after you disconnect from the Internet. This 
should prevent any info being sent but this is not a guarantee.

Option 3. Open Mail preferences and temporarily disable your account. 
Again, no guarantees that spam may not hide something in your memory.

Options 2 and 3 might be sanitized after you shut down or reboot.

When you decide to forward a chain email, put your name at the top of 
the list and delete the idiot's name who sent it to you...
