Your doing what surfers do abd blaming the websites for selling your email address, I get people using email addresses like this all the time, and every nw and then get blamed for spam...Email are to valuable to me for me to sell, so I do not do it.

But what I do know, from looking at the emaiil logs from my email server, is that spammers send emails to every variation of name at a paticular domain name... SO why do you get spam... because some spammer saw one of his emails get through and added it to his good list...its that simple...

after a few months of getting newsletters from that sponsor (which is ok) I start getting spam to that email from other sources.

what exactly is happening here? how do spammers find that email ?
