I reopened my hotmail account that I had let go. I have gotten almost 400 spams in the last ~2 months!!!!!!

Most of it has been porn and junk. Even some mortgage and other stuff. Filters don't work and I have tried blocking @hotmail but it doesn't work.

And, I even opened a hotmail account as an experiment and that was an Abandoned account (not mine). I've gotten 20+ spams at that address. The third address I got, (well, I had another address, but there was a problem with the password, so I couldn't reopen that one), with _ between the username words, and no spam yet, since its hard to guess.


Yahoo email, I get occassional spam (less than 5 a month) (4 accounts there - one has gotten a lot because someone accidentally linked to the address on a website for the high school reunion). That makes me mad because this address was not intended to be linked to. And, its been nothing but gibberish in the subject, so its hard to make a filter.



Fastmail, I don't give that address out to anyone, and haven't gotten any Spam.
