"How To" Guides for Windows

If your ISP or web hosting provider allows you to set up your own e-mail addresses, consider setting up a separate address for each web site you register on. This is easiest if you have your own domain name and you can set up generic forwarding for all addresses under the domain.

The advantage is that this approach allows you to easily verify e-mail senders. For example, if you change your e-mail address on PayPal to "john.doe.paypal@ExampleOnly.com" and the "To" address of a received message has something different, it's probably spam for a phishing scam that didn't come from PayPal.
