Mails

The first safety measures concerning the sendings by mall concern a careful use.

• If a mall is not specifically protected, nothing to put above which you would not put on a postcard.
• At the time of the composition of a courriel, always to put the address of the recipient in the last (after having written the message). That avoids sendings by error of mall not finished, of drafts.
• If there are several recipients to use fields a: (or TO:). If you use fields (DC: carbon Copy), the recipients who appear in it are only recipients on a purely informative basis.
• To try to avoid fields (BCC: copy hidden), because these courriels is often impersonal.
• In its customer of transport, to decontaminate interpretation HTML, Vbscript, Javascript... etc and to send its messages in format pure text (not of active colors, bonds, requests for acknowledgement of delivery etc.)
• To avoid sending enclosures. Never not to open enclosures which one is not absolutely sure of the source and legitimacy
• To avoid sending too bulky malls.
• Always to be explicit and to be identified in its malls, especially when they contain enclosures (without what the recipient can not open the mail by fear of a virus).
• Not to reveal by too fast answers of the addresses of mailing lists or people who do not wish to communicate their address.
• To avoid letting trail its mall (and a fortiori its name) on the various forms which one crosses on Internet.
• If one holds to remain "relatively" anonymous on Internet, one may find it very beneficial to create another address that that which is given to us by our FAI.
• Not to answer the Spam (not requested malls, often of pub). If you answer, they know that there is an individual behind the address. However, if you receive Spam, it is that your address trails, or trailed some by on Internet.
