I recall receiving only one spam in my primary webmail account over the last 2.5 years. It was a failure notice of a spam from some Russian that used my email address in the header. Since I have given that email address out to only a few trusted people, I have wondered if the spammer obtained it from the URL of the webspace.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20402392 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:15:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20401666 wgm : Spammers must be slugs, no spam, so far, hmmmm think I've been a GotSky customer since September/October 2007.

By the way, email from that email address get forwarded to a child account, neither seen spam since using them, so far.

That is an excellent point though, a case where the old-school way of doing things is no longer secure against the bottom feeders.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20401565 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:32:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20401146 Spice300 : My WB service is through Gotsky too. My main complaint with their webspace is the use of the user name in the URL which identifies our primary email addresses. Their security is sloppy. For example, your FAP meter reads:

FAPZILLA -u williammc
4/28/2008 13:56:44 469 4227

and you have the Select Pack:

When spammers figure out how to construct our emails addresses from our webspace, we will be victimized.
