Re: Gmail I have multi yahoo accounts for crap; I use gmail for private.
Gmail gets no spam, only because i use it for receiving mail from just people i know not signing up on some bulletin board. |

Gmail gets no spam, only because i use it for receiving mail from just people i know not signing up on some bulletin board. The people you email get a virus and your email addy is now getting spam. Same for when your email is part of a distribution list so now everyone has your email addy and the chance of getting spam multiplies. |

I have a similar situation. My Yahoo mail account is my "public" account. I use that for almost everything.
However, for close friends and family, I use my GMail account. Now my GMail account has gotten spammed. (Easy to guess address most likely.) GMail, though, traps most of these spams before I even see them. Only once or twice will a spam slip through. (Usually as spammers shift tactics and just before Google's filters catch up.) |
