Hi Alan, Boy, do I hate spam. Anyway, one of the newest ways to find email addresses is to have a software program generate combo's of letters and numbers for large ISP's (earthlink, hotmail, yahoo, etc.) and just send them out.
It just happened with my address. My current address was less that 24 HOURS old when I got my first spam. A software program just randomly generated "tdc" for the huge "atttbi" domain name. I was so pissed! David Crandon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Yesterday I received a porno spam (Subject: VOTED THE #1 SITE OF THE > WEEK!!!).
