One of the major productivity-harming features of email is ‘spam’ – basically unsolicited bulk email that comes in a variety of forms on a scale of just annoying to downright disgusting. Unfortunately in this day and age it seems that no matter how well you hide your email address from spammers, over time you will likely be receiving a large number of spam emails.
