preventing spam in my email

[bejjinks]

I don't want to receive IMs or notices in my email unless they are addressed specifically to my email. I prefer my IMs and notices in world. Where I was required to add my email to my account, I set it so that I wouldn't receive IMs in my email but I'm receiving IMs in my email anyway. Is this a technical glitch or is there some other setting that needs to be fixed?

You can certainly UNcheck the box in Preferences >> Chat that says "Email me IMs when I am offline".  That will stop many of the messages.  It won't kill forwarded group notices, however, and it won't stop any messages that are sent from your Marketplace store.  It also won't stop messages that are sent directly from Linden Lab to your account.  You should probably do as many of us have done for ages ..... Create a gmail account for Second Life and give that address to Linden Lab. Any SL mail will go there instead of showing up in your normal e-mail, and you can ignore it or delete it as you wish.
