It's starting to annoy me a little, every day I access my email half a dozen time or so and I never fail to get several spam emails in my in box. I must get like 60 spam to every 1 ligitimate email! Has anyone else noticed their mail box being flooded by spam?
Most common spams at the moment at the moment are; "Enlage your Penis", "Low cost/ No prescription Meds" and "Teens that do it all"

I wonder if there will ever come a time when sending unsolicited bulk emails will become illegal? They should be!

OMG don't even start about those i even got one that says "Porn found on your computer" - I DON'T have any on my computer. Spam mail should be outlawed and anyone who does it should have their computer blown up by a virus, and then forced to watch all the Power Rangers episodes while drinking a mixture of Carling, vodka and marmite. You don't want to know what else I've picked up here at uni . So, how's everyone else doin then?

dunno, dont have much of a problem with spam.

Only got two e-mail adresses working right now, one of those free e-mail provider adresses, I use for everything where I dont know if it could result in spam.

Then ofcourse my clan--adress but I dont use that outside of gaming stuff.

But I propably get a total of 2 spam mails per day, which are normaly filtered out and the one that gets trough once in a month, I take as a joke.

Wish I had your luck Giam, or maybe it's down to me having my email address all over my site the companies grabbing it off the web, adding it to huge mail lists then selling them on to porn companies for profit, which is how I beleive things work.

I went away for the weekend, came back and had 350 spam to sort through- nightmare! And only a dozen legit emails. I even recived a few "Get large breasts" mails!

Glad you noticed! Nah, I just thought it'd look a bit better than a text link. That's probably the only part of the site I'll change for now. The next step will be a total re-design! (which may take a while)

I'll have to try this one sounds interesting.

As far as junkmail goes though I'm quite lucky, the worst I get is amazon telling me how cheap games are.
