How to Report Spam in Juno Email

Spam has grown in circulation exponentially year after year since its inception in the 1970s. The more you give your email address out while online, the more unsolicited emails you will receive. To combat the deluge of spam you receive, you should use an email program with spam filters like Juno email. If a piece of spam gets through the filter and arrives in your Juno account, you need to report the spam to Juno. Juno will report the incident to the originating domain of the message and add the spam to the filter.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Log into your Juno email account by clicking (or double-clicking) the Juno icon on your desktop or in your "Start" menu. If you use an external email program like Outlook, open it.

2. Open the spam email by clicking it.

3. Show the full headers for the spam email to reveal the exact path the message traveled from start to finish. Look for an option under "View" or "Options" in your email program, and set the headers to show all of the header. You will see a list of several different servers in the email now.

4. Forward the email by clicking the "Forward" button in your email program.

5. Add the following email address "[e-mail]" to the address line.

6. Hit the "Send" button to send the spam report to Juno.

7. Add the email sender to a junk-sender list or block-sender list in your email program to block future emails.

8. Delete the spam email from your account.

Tips & Warnings

• Create a new junk email address to give out when making purchases or signing up for blog accounts and forums or other general uses.
• Provide one specific email address to friends and family, and ask them to keep the email address private.
• Always report spam and email abuse as soon as it occurs so you don't forget. If everyone reports spam, a significant reduction in the amount of spam will take place.
• Find the full headers option in the Juno web-based email under the "Preferences" section in "Email Features."
• Turn the full headers option off after you report the spam so you don't have to see the headers on other emails.
• Use the "Report Junk" button on the Juno web-based email to report spam and other junk emails automatically. Simply place a check mark by the spam email(s), and click the button.
• Never reply to a spam email, because it verifies your email account and your desire to receive more messages.
• Juno has set specific policies against account users who try to get responses to unsolicited messages through a Juno email account.
