For the next two weeks, readers are submitting their best life hack for a chance to win an autographed copy of our new book, Upgrade Your Life.If you own a domain name with an active catch-all email address, you know how spammers can pummel you with junk mail to every anyword@yourdomain.com email address they can automatically generate. When you have your own domain, you can to use site-specific addresses when you register for web services to track down spam sources (like amazon.com@yourdomain.com), but once you do that, you've got to keep your catch-all address open to junk mail as well.

Blogger Dan Markovitz says that emptying your inbox isn't the solution to email overload—that figuring out the source of all those messages is. He writes:If you really want to reduce the time you spend in email and increase the amount of time you spend on the stuff that's really important to you and your organization, you have to understand what's coming at you. And why. Markovitz argues that we should be asking ourselves where the bulk of our email comes from, how much of it is worthless, and what topics come up over and over again, and who sends you the least relevant messages—an interesting exercise for anyone suffering from an overloaded inbox. What's the source of most of your email on a day-to-day basis? Is it cc-happy co-workers? A chatty mailing list? read more »

Managing the daily onslaught of incoming email with filing systems, keyboard shortcuts, and batch processing will only get you so far. When a flurry of new email snows you in within an hour of every inbox sweep, it's time to dig in and get to the source of your email traffic. You've accumulated a sizable email archive over the years, and a new breed of analysis tool can extract meaningful statistics from that data to help you conquer email overload. Who sent you the most email messages last year? What hour of the day do you receive the most new messages? Which of all the mailing lists you're on are the most active? A new command line tool called Mail Trends works with Gmail over IMAP and can give you all that information and more. read more »

In honor of Earth Day, Yahoo put together a "Free Is Good" web site promoting previously mentioned Freecycle, local mailing lists of folks who give away stuff they don't need. Pop your city and state into the search engine and get a map back of nearby groups. The Freecycle groups themselves are Yahoo Groups, so you have to join the group using your Yahoo ID to see messages (and often a moderator has to approve the membership request.) From there you can offer stuff you'd throw away anyway to give to your neighbors for free, and take them up on their offers, too.

Ensure that an important message never gets marked as spam with Gmail's new "Never send it to Spam" option in its Filter rules. Just create a filter that matches messages on a certain criteria—whether it's a company domain (like from:lifehacker.com) or certain keyword in the subject—and check off "Never send it to Spam" in the second step to immunize yourself from missing that mail. Gmail's spam filter has a pretty decent track record for false positives, but at least once it marked a message to a company mailing list as Spam for me, so I might have to add this to my essential email filters list. read more »
