Spam is the scourge of the modern internet, and there are few people yet to be bedevilled by it. Fortunately, there are a few ways you can fight back, and one of them is through using email aliases. These are alternative email addresses that redirect to your main inbox – hand out an alias and your regular email address remains uncompromised. If an address gets spammed, most places let you quickly disable it.
