spam is great for camping, best when cooked over charcoal or wood for that great flavor, mix with some beans and you have a hearty meal

Sign up for more spam, don't delete them. Let your whole inbox fill up to max capacity so that it returns an undeliverable email back to sender. :p

If you're using gmail I don't know why your spam goes to your inbox. I got my first spam in my inbox in months yesterday and I was shocked. Gmail is maybe 99.98% perfect with detecting spam/real mail. I get maybe 50-100 a day and I use my email for everything.

Is that all, I thought I signed up TRIDENTBOY35atGMAIL.COM to more porn websites then that. I really thought putting your e-mail address, TRIDENTBOY35atGMAIL.COM, down for all those male enhancement offers would do the trick. Apparently not enough people know the address TRIDENTBOY35atGMAIL.COM.

Why?

BTW, I never use my real e-mail address for anything online (check my profile). Also, I have my own domain so I can create and delete addresses at will without having to use gmail every time.

+1 on yahoo sucking

I created a Yahoo account for my fantasy football league.. started getting spam in my inbox literally 5 minutes after the account was created just from spammers sending to random addresses.
The yahoo spam filter is useless.

I will give you props for seeding this backup account 2 years ago though.

I use Gmail. Gmail gives me A LOT OF SPAM in my inbox. It doesn't catch even the stupidest shit about "YOU NEED A QUOTE, AMIRITE?"

X_X

I think you are doing it wrong.

Consider yourself lucky. I have one gmail account that I just cleared out 300 pieces of spam mail.
