1) Avoid publishing your email addresses in teh internet.
2) use a Striong Spam/junk mails/phishing mails filters
3) Also make it a point that you dont open mails which you suspect of falling into above mentioned criteria.
By doing so you will prevent the sender to confirm that your email address does indeed exist..
3) Help improve the database of spam filters by reporting and confirming that these mails fall into this criteria.
Parash: hmm
