Train the spam filter

Tips: - Be careful where you leave you email address. - Don't leave your email address online written outright, type it like this: myaddress at runbox.com - Use different addresses for different purposes. All Runbox addresses work both as myname@runbox.com[/email], myname@runboxANTISPAM.us and myname@runboxANTISPAM.no, use the [email]myname@runbox.no for things less important and set up a filter to put all those email in a separate folder. - Do not open unknown attachments without virus scanning them first. Runbox recommends having a separate virus scan program on your computer.
