What do you do with Bacn?

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

What is Bacn? According to wikipedia, Bacn is similar to spam but differs because the recipient has somehow signed up to receive it. It still fills your inbox, because you don’t want to read it at the moment and then eventually you mark all as read. Below is example of Bacn which is a notification email :

I’ve considered mails from mailing lists such yahoogroups as Bacn as well. What do you do with Bacn?

  1. Unsubscribe from Bacn. By default, social networking like friendster or facebook send notification email, but there’s a way to disable this options. Just check their settings.
  2. Filter it. You can do it using gmail filter. Using those filter, you can tag it and also you can mark all as read so it didn’t show up as unread and mixed with other very important letter.
  3. Delete it.

So, any other suggestions?
