			The golden rules:

			* Have secure mailbox passwords with UPPER and lower case letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric characters (symbols)
			* Scan your computer regularly for Viruses, Trojans or Keyboard loggers.
			* Set the Reverse DNS, Hostname and SMTP Banner for your server.
			* Scan your server for malware.
			* Be careful when sending out large mailshots to over 200 people at a time.
			* Use additional protection such as SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM.

	You should almost never bounce spam email. It is best to either mark it as Spam or delete it.		You should almost never bounce spam email. It is best to either mark it as Spam or delete it.
