What does JM mean in GENERAL

Junk mail, also known as spam, is unwanted emails that are sent in large numbers and usually include advertisements or requests for money. These emails can contain malicious attachments or links that lead to websites containing malware or viruses.

The best way to stop receiving junk mail is to use an email filtering tool like SpamAssassin or MailWasher. These tools will analyze your incoming emails and filter out any suspicious messages. Additionally, you can use a reputable anti-spam service provider like SpamCop to block all incoming emails from known spammers.

Opening a junk mail could expose your computer to malicious software and viruses. Unsolicited emails often contain malicious attachments or links that can infect your computer with malware. To protect your computer, it is best to delete any unsolicited emails without opening them.

Spammers typically purchase databases of email addresses from third-party companies or harvest them from websites and online forums where users have posted their contact information publicly. Some spammers may also send out phishing emails pretending to be from reputable companies in order to collect personal information such as passwords and credit card details.

You can avoid being added to spam mailing lists by not posting your email address in public places like online forums, blogs, websites, etc. Additionally, be wary of giving your email address away when signing up for certain services – always check the website’s privacy policy first before handing over any personal information.

Deleting junk mail will not prevent additional junk mail from appearing in your inbox; however, it will lower the chance of receiving future unsolicited emails as spammers are likely to move onto other targets who are more likely to click on their messages.

Many people use disposable email accounts (or "burner" accounts) for various purposes including reducing the amount of junk mail they receive. A disposable account allows you temporarily create an alias so that any correspondence sent through this alias goes directly into a single folder rather than filling up the main inbox folder with unwanted messages. While there is no guarantee of absolute protection against junk mail using disposable accounts can be effective at keeping most of it at bay.

If you find yourself overwhelmed with unwanted emails then contacting the sender directly may help mitigate the problem. Most legitimate companies have customer service contacts which you are able to use – explain what steps you have taken already and ask them politely if they could unsubscribe you from future messages instead of just marking them as spam.

In many countries there are legal consequences for sending unsolicited bulk emails (aka "spamming"). Rules vary country-to-country but in general these laws prohibit individuals or businesses from sending deceptive messages that mislead recipients into taking actions that benefit the sender financially (such as purchasing products). Violators may face fines depending on local laws.

Yes, if someone repeatedly sends you unwanted or deceptive messages then it is possible for you to report them either through your internet service provider (ISP) or alternatively by filing a complaint with the relevant government agency such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Make sure you keep copies of all suspicious communications so they can serve as evidence when making a complaint.
