Tormod Posted December 17, 2004 Report Posted December 17, 2004 Anyone else getting insane amounts of spam lately? I'd understand it if it were a lot of Christmas gifts hawking but I get all kids of junk e-mail (often in unreadable languages) and, erm, a lot of information as to how to enhance certain body parts. Yesteday I received...1,269 unwanted e-mails!!! Quote
Aki Posted December 17, 2004 Report Posted December 17, 2004 Well I noticed I've been getting many many many spams in my gmail account, but not as many as 1,269. Quote
Tormod Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Posted December 17, 2004 I don't get much spam to gmail...maybe 2-3 per week. But I don't use that address publicly, maybe that's the difference. The spam I talk about are coming to the hypography.com accounts. :) Quote
geko Posted December 17, 2004 Report Posted December 17, 2004 If you allow an e mail address to be read by an arbitrary internet user it'll be trawled. The spam you're getting Tormod will get worse, not better i think. Quote
Tormod Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Posted December 17, 2004 So maybe I need to switch address now and then, is that what you're saying? Quote
alexander Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 thats exactly what you want to do tormod, or you could keep one adress private and one public... Quote
pgrmdave Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 That's what I do, I've got three e-mail accounts, all three free, two of them are 'fake', as in, I check them rarely and only use them online, and one is 'real', I check it every day, and only tell my friends about it. Quote
pgrmdave Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 My main 'fake' one has 2,448 e-mails in the bulk folder. Quote
