There are a few steps you can take to help reduce the amount of spam you receive in your Squarespace account. By following these tips, you can help keep your inbox clean and tidy, and avoid any potential headaches down the road.
1. Use a Spam Filter
One of the best ways to reduce the amount of spam you receive is to use a spam filter. There are many different types of filters available, but we recommend using a reputable service like Spam Assassin or MailWasher. These services will help to block most spam before it ever reaches your inbox.
2. Be Careful Who You Give Your Email Address To
Another way to reduce the amount of spam you receive is to be careful about who you give your email address to. If you only give your email address to people and businesses that you trust, you’ll be less likely to receive spam from random sources. Additionally, you can set up a separate email address that you only use for online purchases or other situations where you might be giving your email address to strangers.
-First, check to see if the spam is coming from a specific email address or domain. If so, you can block that email address or domain in your site’s Email Settings.
-Next, we recommend enabling CAPTCHA for your forms. This will help to stop automated spam submissions.
-Finally, if you are still receiving spam after taking these steps, please contact Squarespace Support so we can investigate further.
3. Set Up an Email Forwarding Service
Another helpful tip is to set up an email forwarding service like SaneBox or InboxRules. These services will help to automatically forward any suspected spam messages to a separate folder or email address, so they never reach your inbox in the first place. This can be a great way to keep your inbox clean without having to constantly check your spam folder.
4. Use Squarespace’s Built-In Spam Protection
Squarespace offers built-in spam protection for all accounts, which can help to reduce the amount of spam you receive. To enable this feature, go to the Settings tab in your account and then click on the Email section.
From there, scroll down to the “Spam Protection” section and select “Enable Spam Protection”. This will help to filter out any suspected spam messages before they reach your inbox.
