Email
Spam Mail - never reply to spam mail.
This just confirms that your email is valid and more of the same
email will appear in your inbox. To prevent spam be careful who
and where you supply your email address to. To prevent spam on your
system you can block users (refer to the help section of your mail
client) or install anti spam software.
Large emails - when you need to
send a file containing many files be aware many email clients such
as Hotmail have size restrictions. It is better practice to send
many smaller files than one large file.
