Well the internet IS an international thing. I and many of my Danish friends have international email addresses too (ie.
someone@somewhere.com). We receive rarely SPAM mails. Some of the main reasons for getting lots of SPAM mails are:
[*] You have answered to a SPAM mail. Ex: You send a mail to tell the sender NOT to send more of those emails
[*] You use your Out-of-Office assistant to reply to emails from ALL senders (also SPAM mails)
[*] You have put your email address on one or more homepages as
someone@somewhere.com, there are SPAM bots searching for the '@' code.
[*] You enter your email address on 'sign up here for free junk' homepages
[*] You have had a virus/trojan on your machine
Have at least 2 email addresses: 1 for real and 1 for SPAM. The real ones you use for work, mailing your friends etc. The other SPAM accounts, you can use when you are not sure, if you are put on someones SPAM list.
Your real accounts you can check for new mails as often as you like. The others you can check once in a while and throw away all the mails, because you know nothing is of importance.
