I remember days of old where I'd come online and have something like 30 new e-mail messages and after cleaning out the spam I'd have 1 if I was lucky. But lo and behold, one day I came online and had like 3 new mail messages and went in...1 was from Playboy, 1 was telling me I had a new PM, and the 3rd was the What's Up newsletter. And ever since then, I've had no spam. None...whatsoever. But I didn't get any special features or block addresses or anything...I guess somebody just smiled on me one day.

Anybody else have this sudden miracle?

Speam can be some kind of clone version of Spam. You know, maybe something like Spam-lite or Spam-EX.

Neopets killed me. I've been getting spam from a site linked to that goddamn place for the past 3 years.<(o>_<o)>

My hotmail account is free of all SPAM except from MSN itself though. Hurrah. :D

Too bad MSN itself sends so much spam. Partially because of that, I only use my hotmail account when registering for a site that I'm afraid will attract spam.

I get an MSN e-mail about once every month. Otherwise, my e-mail box is barren.

Nobody likes me :cry: :D

I use Hotmail (for now...I should be switched to Gmail, but the link Creech sent me didn't work...grrrrrr) but I get absolutely no spam..not even MSN spam.
