I don't know why they even bother calling it "Bulk Mail". Why don't they just go ahead and call it "Crap you absolutely don't need but we're keeping it here anyway" folder...

Also, yes, SPAM sucks. As for those adresses, those are spoofs. And DO NOT open attachments from adresses you are not familiar with. I've gotten about 10 of those in one weekend.

I don't use e-mail. I tell my friends and family to get instant messenger services. ICQ is really good because the messages are kept in the system until you log on.

And you don't get spam for sexcams on your ICQ account then Glue?
Granted the problem is nowhere near email levels...

I've only got the one ICQ "spam" that always seems to happen to new accounts. It's like they have a on-sign-up rule or something :roll: After I changed some prefferences, I haven't had a single spam in ICQ whatsoever.

As for email, I have 3 normal addys I use, as well as an old hotmail account if I know something's gonna spam me. The hotmail one is the only one I get a lot of spam on, I get some to "Sales" at my domain that I just have forwarded into oblivion, and I use no filters on the other 2.
