Effective way to reduce spam by using the 1 st or 2 nd ways of receiving queries – is sending auto-replies to all requests coming from unknown to you (ie not registered in your customer base) addresses. And despite the fact that most mail systems can do this, such a measure is not a guaranteed protection against spam. Personal Account Management – is a private resource, in which only the client can send you a request. It is unlikely that your customers will use their own private office to send spam to your address. Even if that happens, you can simply remove “undesirable” from a client base data. Unambiguous identification of the client’s main sign of identity of the client request is received by e-mail (1-y way) or from a Web form (2-y way) is an e-mail address.
