Re: But its not me....

One recommendation is create a new address that you give to friends only. I.e. Don't include it on webpages, registration on sites etc. You never know who is selling your addresses on. I very rarely get SPAM on my "Private" address, but on my site registration one I get lots, I use Outlook to handle the junk mail

Me too. For example if my email address is abc@ntlworld.com, I get spam which is addressed to abztlqgiog@ntlworld.com
