Not sure this is where I suppose to post. Please don't flame me if I am wrong. 😱

I just sign up another new email address to avoid certain junk mails. After a week of sign up, junk mails shows up again in my mailbox. I really hate it happen. I been changed two email addresses and still can't get rid of it. This is been going for years.

The chain of junk mails I keep received usually have a dash and follow with eight letters in the subject (ex. -nulscryb)

For example:
Subject: FREE!! Debt Consolidation Help -nulscryb

Anybody have this same junk fever? Is there a way to track back where it came from, so I can stop the leak? Any info or suggestions will be greatly appreciate.
 
You can track the spam and send complaints to the proper parties with Spamcop. You'll have to search a little for their free service, but it's there.

All you'll end up doing is killing one of the spammer's addresses/accounts and/or reporting an open relay at a system. Both are good things, but I have yet to find a way to permanently stop spam. Latest round of spam for me seems to be the nonaccredited university diplomas.
 
Thank you Perry.

I also received nonaccredited university diplomas spam mails too. Good thing is all go to my Hotmail account, where all my junk mails mailbox. One click on delete and they are all gone.

Thanks again, you are real help. 🙂
 
I think I found the source of leak. It's from Anandtech forum. After I got this new email account in Mediaone, I only reveal my email address in three public sites. They are @bay, ZDnet subscription and Anandtech forum.

I remember MOD warned the users couple month ago, not to reveal your email address in the forum & thread. I think this where is the leak coming from. Spammer might scan the forum and got my email address somehow.

Well and o'course I might be wrong. 😱
 
Try stop.mail-abuse.org. I haven't tried this personally, but I've used some of their other (FREE) services.
