Stop Viruses and Worms!

This may not seem to be directly related to E-Mail, but it is. E-Mail worms and viruses are spreading via messages that could be sent from your computer without your knowledge. It is thus, essential that you use current anti virus software, to update it frequently, and to keep up to date with security fixes of your email software.

Your E-Mail recipients will definitely thank you for taking care!

Avoid Sending Unnecessary Attachments

Use attachments sparingly. If the recipient has no need to view the whole document or edit it anyway, just use the text of the document as part of your E-Mail body. Attachments can be very heavy and have the potential to send an E-Mail system crawling on its knees. Also make sure to have effective anti-virus so that the documents you send are not infected.
