here is some ways to protect urself from spam email-
Install spam filtering/blocking software
Anti-spam software examines incoming email to try and separate spam from legitimate messages. Filtering software can automatically identify and detect spam, or offensive emails, and prevents those messages from reaching your inbox.
Do not respond to suspicious emails
If you suspect an email is spam, do not respond, just delete it. Do not click on or open any attachments. And do not click on any email links asking to be taken off the sender's list -- sometimes unsubscribe links are phony, and your response only confirms the accuracy of your email address and could result in even more unwanted messages.
Set up a disposable email address
Have a secondary -- or disposable -- email address for public use, such as a free web email account. Use that email when you're registering for web services or signing up for online newsletters. If you like, you can forward these emails to your primary account but spam could get forwarded too. So make sure to activate your secondary email account's spam filter to catch spam before it's redirected to your main inbox.
Create an email name that's tough to crack
Some spammers use computer programs to guess email addresses. Research shows that email addresses containing numbers, letters and underscores are more difficult to guess and tend to receive less spam.
