I guess i must be one of the lucky ones then because my hotmail account which i use just for friends and private stuff never gets spammed at all whereas my others get bloody shit loads every day.

Sorry though, i`m not able to help you sir.

Re:: How to stop spam email

I don't know about stopping it, but I have some advice on how to help prevent it.

Use a web-based email account with good spam filtering. I use yahoo for my main email account. This is the address I use for corresponding with friends and use for most msgboard registration. The email account on my website is pretty much business only...if you can call what I do business. And I have a couple other anonymous accounts that I give to people whom I don't want to give my real email address.

If a website or software asks you for an email, always give them a fake one no what their "privacy" statement says. [email]Scott.Richter@optinrealbig.com[/email] is my personal favorite :) If it's a case where the requestor has to send you a password or some type of confirmation email, use a web-based account, but not that one you want to use regularly. I have a hotmail account that I don't use for anything else other than this purpose. Spam the hell out of it, I don't care. Just remember to login every month or so to keep it active.

Hope that helps.

Re:: How to stop spam email

If when I die, I'm allowed to ask God a question it would be "How do I stop spam email?" That, or "what the fuck were you thinking with cisco and the thong song?"

I opened a hotmail account, logged in, then 5 days later it was full of 452 spam emails, and i never gave the email address to anyone.

AOL is the best for keeping out spam, although been hearing alot of stories about how they block IP address en-masse, which really messes up some people.
