Re: People still get spam?

So that just shows you sometimes you don't have to do anything to get spam.
If one would pick a username with a bunch of numbers added to it, then it would be very difficult for a spammer who sends to every combination of letters to guess.

Gmail is great for eliminating most of the spam (it goes to the spam folder, not the inbox). I freely post with my (fake) email address (my username does not follow the above advice) and pick up 50 or more spams a day with maybe one or two making it to the inbox. Gmail makes it easy to report those few as spam.
