Is anyone else noticing an increase in spam lately? My main email address is getting flooded, but I never sign up for stuff that I'm not sure about w/ that address - that's what hotmail is for

its not just that. with mainstream free addresses such as hotmail spammers just randomly generate e-mail and flood them to all diffrent random e-mails. its nt all about being scanned by the spambots anymore unfourtinatly. Also look at the privacy policys for company's you sign up to. many compile your e-mails and sell them
