Keep opening porn spam mail and registering? Someone somewhere has to still be falling for those, or they would have stoped by now.

How can this method of advertisement still be generating enough money to make it worth it?

Who exactly saw the email I received yesterday titled "RE: Old Aged Woman want to play" and decided it would be a good idea to open it? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...ons/icon17.gif

My isp's email get 7 porn spam a day... :(

Not me... don't even get porn spam because my isp has a filter that deletes them before I reach them... very handy.

You should check out Mailwasher which allows you to filter and delete it yourself without downloading to you computer.

My hotmail acount is still bugging me like hell with it. Viagra, enhancers, enlargers etc. Ah well, everything from adresses I don't know or forwards go straight to the bin.

my yahoo account used to get tons by the hour, but i now have it delete the bulk as soon as it gets it. i still occasionally get some in my inbox but ive reported so many that no more can get to me. my gmail box on the other hand is kept totally clean :D

Any ISP worth its name will provide filtering services -- hey, if almost all free services do so these days, how can a paying service not?

I used to have horrible spam trouble in the late '90s, but ever since decent spam filters have come out I've not seen more than the occasional single piece that slipped by the wall ...
