As more and more businesses and individuals join the internet world either for private use or for business, everyone has to deal with being followed and tracking tendencies. In other words "big brother is watching". Junk or spam mail continues to be a problem for everyone from individuals to organizations and business.
What do we do with all this junk mail? Well it is no different than when you open your regular mailbox. You sort through and throw out unwanted mail in the trash. For email it is a little different. Most email software packages including those on those through the cloud, have by default blocking filters that sort the junk mail. Remember junk mail can carry viruses, trojans, and unwanted cookies that cause your computer to run slower. It is important to keep junk email in check. "Additionally, businesses can install spam filtering software for their networks , and individuals can install spam filtering software on their home computers(Shelly,Napier,Rivers 2010).

It means that your email address has been harvested by hackers. These hackers use your email address as the "reply to" and send out spam, bulk emails and junk email. When the email address they send to has been discontinued, the postmaster sends an automated message to the "reply to" address--yours. That is why you are getting emails from the postmaster. Take steps to both stop the emails and prevent hackers from using your email address again"(Hanley). Follow these steps to help manage junk email.
