Re: I rarely get spam on Gmail

They might have guessed it. Now let's assume my name is John Doe. I wonder why john.doe@gmail.com is infested, and not john_doe@yahoo.fr, which is my main address.

Maybe email generators aren't clever enough to handle the underscore, or domains that end in something else than .com

And regarding pr0n outfits, I always sign up as "Unotgonnaget@myemail.com", or something similar

Yep, that last is probably it. No one said spammers are thorough.
