E-mail you are getting is also spam .Info about spam :To Indiscriminately send unsolicited, unwanted, irrelevant, or inappropriate messages, especially commercial advertising in mass quantitieor Spam refers to electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. Some people define spam even more generally as any unsolicited e-mail. In addition to being a nuisance, spam also eats up a lot of network bandwidth. Because the Internet is a public network, little can be done to prevent spam, just as it is impossible to prevent junk mail. However, the use of software filters in e-mail programs can be used to remove most spam sent through e-mai Edited March 11, 2006 by stuge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I am currently using Goowy mail. www.goowy.com.1GB inbox which is not bad. It uses a lot of widgets for everything lot's of eye candy if you are into that. I can send you an invite if you want but I think you can sign up without one IIRC.

greenmachine Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 The shorter and more common your username is, the more spam you'll receive. Also, don't give the address to anyone. Use non machine readable display methods (your address displayed in a picture for example) on public sites instead of direct links. I have a (gmail) account which is spam-free for over 9 months now.
