[Perfect Choice]

Herbie, I cannot remember the last time I received a single spam email with VM so it is really where your email is given. That said I am surprised that you are getting so much spam on a brand new email address with VM. May be worth a call to check VM have not missed something on your account setup and your email address is being filtered by their gateway systems.

I have found ISPs perform differently on SPAM in terms of base filtering. Before VM I had BTConnect which were excellent as VM is today for me, Before BT I had Tiscali which were rubbish for me and I received daily spam on my email account with them.

It only takes one leak of your email to the spammers for you to get hit so it helps to have a good ISP for initial filtering of obvious spam at least.
