I'd love to know what you guys are doing differently than I'm doing. I don't even use spam filters, and I never get obscene spam, or any spam for that matter.

I've had two different web based email accounts for about three years now and have never received any spam. It's a free account too.

One with 100 megs of storage and the other one is unlimited.

The main reason I don't receive pornography type spam is that it's well known that I don't even own a pornograph.(I've been waiting a long time to say that)

Wow. You're lucky. I don't know of anyone else who doesn't get spam!

I'm very active on a number of newsgroups and have never had a problem posting my real e-mail address. Spammers harvest e-mail addresses from these lists regularly. I've used the same address for > 7 years - it doesn't take nearly that long for the spamming scum to figure out that an address is good.

So what are we doing differently? We're very active on the 'net and don't hide - it's a recipe for getting spammed to death.
