Email Spam, WTF?

[JEFF247]

I have 3 Hotmail email addresses. One for porn and forums, one for business (monkey) like Ebay, CL & Paypal and one kinda personal. Personal, I give it to hot chicks or others acquaintances not family.

The ones I use most, business and porn, hardly ever get spammed. That seems odd. But the "personal one" that hardly anyone (except hot chicks) has, gets 25 spams a day! WTF?

Worst offenders are the Viagra, Cialis, etc spams. Filters are a pain it the ass. Easier just to click "select all" and "delete".

Other than filters, any tips on how to avoid spam?

Use Gmail. Their spam protection is amazing.

Unfortunately, most of the spam I get is from GMAIL accounts. The one filter I have blocks all Gmail incoming.

Not sure why your getting heaps of spam. To be honest with you I have not received a spam email in years. And why are you using an actual email to sign up for porn and other things, they have ways to run your ip and gather your other emails..

Use 10minutemail.com for any porn

I was wondering why my porn/forum accounts don't get spammed while the one I rarely use is loaded.

Read the headers. Is it really coming from gmail or is the reply-to/sender email address falsified?
