Spam is a term used by the Internet
community to describe the unwanted delivery of unsolicited and/or
bulk and/or commercial e-mail and newsgroup messages. MyDomain
members
are not permitted to use any of our services or resources to send
spam or to
advertise domains hosted on our network by spamming.
Your Privacy Is Protected
If you are currently receiving spam messages, you can rest assured
that your address was not obtained through our records. We do not
provide member information to third-parties.
Web Surfing and Spam
When you are viewing webpages, there is a chance that your e-mail
address is being relayed to another source. Simply loading a webpage
will not cause this to happen. However, you can transfer personal
information about yourself if you click on a button or link. It
is possible for webpages to mask the relaying of personal information
so that you are unaware it is happening.
To avoid the capture of your e-mail address, you may wish to:
- Remove your e-mail address and other personal information from
the Mail settings within your web browser (e.g., Netscape Navigator,
Internet Explorer, Mozilla, etc.).
- Use an e-mail program completely separate from your web browser,
such as Eudora.
Spam from Newsgroups
There is also a chance that you will receive spam messages and
attachments from unknown sources if your e-mail address is configured
within your newsreader. To ensure you don't receive a mass of spam
messages when you post to newsgroups, one solution is to configure
your newsreader so that your "Reply To:" address is different from
your actual e-mail address.

Finally, if your e-mail address appears on any webpage, anywhere
on the Internet, whether you put it there or not, you could receive
unsolicited e-mail. Major search engines list many links to websites
devoted to the definition of Spam and techniques to avoid receiving
it.
