141887 2003-05-07 00:50:00 Yeah I suppose I am fortunate that the address hasn't appeared on some spam database somewhere so I guess it's just a matter of time. But with one of my other email addresses I constantly get porn emails asking if I'm happy with the size of my manhood or wanting horny housewives!! ;-) PressF1 User (1065)
141888 2003-05-07 01:37:00 I have no Spam filter on coz I hate not knowing if email has come thru or not.

I havent received any Spam in 3 of my account (I have 4) in over 4 years!

I do get tons of different viruses though!

141891 2003-05-07 06:50:00 I had was spam free until late last year. Don't know why, though my email address isn't exactly common. Have been subject to a few "dictionary" spams, that is, joea@hotmail.com, joeb@hotmail.com, joec@hotmail.com etc etc.

If those are real addresses, then I pity those poor sods who're gonna get spam.

Pressf1 isn't that bad as far as spam magnets go. The address i have put up for "Clueless" has only needed to be changed once, and that was at the first spam i got.

141893 2003-05-07 07:40:00 If you guys are wanting a throwaway account that you can use for signing up for things...try lycos mail.

I loaded up one I've had for 3years and hadn't used it since then and found that there was not one piece of spam in it whatsoever. No filters on either. This way it will receive all email necessary to complete activations etc and won't get blocked by filters.

On the other hand, when I signed up for a throwaway account for hotmail 2 weeks ago, it has already received over 1000 spam mails. Hotmail sells the spammers your address..duh!
