垃圾邮件^(Spam)和互联网^(Internet)是齐头并进的。我相信我们大多数人都厌倦了互联网所提供的垃圾邮件。尽管采取了所有垃圾邮件保护措施，但我的个人电子邮件收件箱中至少充斥着大约 80% 的垃圾邮件，而不是有用的电子邮件。我个人尝试过取消订阅，尝试联系管理员从数据库中删除我的电子邮件，以及使用其他网络服务。可悲的是，到目前为止，他们都失败了。在本部分中，让我们仔细看看“ HaveIBeenSold ”服务，该服务可让您检查您的电子邮件地址是否已被典当。

如何使用 HaveIBeenSold

使用Haveibeensold非常简单。您需要做的就是访问他们的网站^{(their website)}并检查您的电子邮件 ID 是否已与任何非法数据库囤积者一起列出。如果您的电子邮件 ID 已售出，您可以选择将其从他们的数据库中删除。我尝试使用我的个人电子邮件 ID，根据 haveibeensold 应用程序，我的电子邮件地址没有出售。

此外，用户还可以注册，并且当您在任何数据库中检测到您的地址时，您将收到电子邮件警报。

它有效吗？^{(Does it work?)}

好吧，坦率地说，我期待我的电子邮件地址会被出售，因为我在相当长的一段时间内收到了大量的垃圾邮件。该服务对我来说毫无用处，因为我确认我的电子邮件是否已售出的主要目的没有得到满足。我收到了大量的垃圾邮件——但是这个网站说我的电子邮件没有被加密。

所以这就是它的工作原理，haveibeensold 的人从供应商那里购买“非法”数据库，并将您的电子邮件地址与他们的列表相匹配。他们显然会定期更新列表，并在您的名字出现时通知您。

如何确保您的电子邮件没有被出售

现在，这将我们带到下一部分，是否可以确保您的电子邮件 ID 不被出售？好吧，这可能无法完全实现，但您始终可以采取一些措施来减少可能性。处理此问题的最佳方法是购买自定义域并在注册服务时使用该域。或者，您也可以使用一次性电子邮件服务。^{(disposable email services.)}

听说过包罗万象的地址^{(catch-all address)}吗？Catchall地址功能可用于捕获发往域但在邮件服务器上并不存在的所有电子邮件。作为下一步的一部分，使用特定规则设置过滤器。例如，您可以指定“所有以 trap 开头的电子邮件都应转到 'Trap' 文件夹。”

此外，您还可以在每次参加会议或特定活动时发送自定义电子邮件。您可以在电子邮件 ID 中添加特定的关键字，例如“trap”，这样您就可以找到负责泄漏它的来源。有了这个，您就有证据证明电子邮件发送者非法购买了电子邮件 ID 数据库。

由于GPDR规则，您可以向GPDR当局报告违规行为。因此，现在您不仅找出了谁应对泄露您的电子邮件 ID 负责，而且您还通过报告违规行为尽了自己的一份力量。

How to check if your email address has been leaked/ or sold

Spam аnd Internet kind оf go hand in hand. I am sure most of us are sick аnd tired of the spam that the intеrnet has to offer. Despite all the spam protection measures my personal emаil inbox is floodеd with at least around 80-percеnt spam as oрposed to the useful emails. I have personally tried unsubscribing, trying to contact the admin to remove my email from the database, and also υsing other web services. Sadly all of them have fаiled so far. In this segment let us take a closer look at “HaveIBeenSold” a service that lets you check if your email address has been pawned.

How to use HaveIBeenSold

Using Haveibeensold is very easy. All you need to do is head over to their website and check whether or not your email ID has been listed with any of the illegal database hoarders. In case your email id has been sold you can opt to remove it from their database. I tried out with my personal email ID, and according to the haveibeensold app, my email address is not sold.

Moreover, users can also sign up, and with this, in place, you will get email alert as and when your address is detected in any of the databases.

Does it work?

Well, to be frank, I was expecting my email address to be sold since I get a ton load of spam messages for quite some time. The service was pretty useless for me since my main aim of confirming whether my email had been sold or not, was not met. I get tons of junk – but this site said that my email was not pwned.

So this is how it works, the folks at haveibeensold buy “illegal” databases from the vendors and match your email address against their lists. They apparently update the lists very regularly and notify if your name crops up.

How to make sure that your email is not sold

Now, this brings us to the next part, is it possible to ensure that your email ID is not sold? Well, this might not be possible in its entirety, yet you can always take some steps to reduce the possibilities. The best way to handle this is by buying a custom domain and using the same while signing up for services. Alternatively, you can also make use of disposable email services.

Ever heard of catch-all address? Catchall address feature can be used to catch all the emails that are addressed to the domain but don’t essentially exist on the mail server. As part of the next step set up a filter with a certain rule. For instance, you can specify that “all emails starting with trap should go to the ‘Trap’ folder.”

Additionally, you can also give out a custom email every time you participate in a conference or a certain event. You can add specific keywords like “trap” to the email id so that you can catch the source who is responsible for leaking it. With this in hand, you have proof that emailers are illegally purchasing the email ID database.

Thanks to the GPDR rules you can report a violation to the GPDR authorities. So now you have not only found out who is responsible for leaking your email ID, but you have also done your part by reporting a violation.
