I have been on this list for years, I have my mail address published on my web site and many other places. I hardly get any spam at all, I don't use any spam filter like spamassasin on the server, only regex on header and blocking a few ip's - simple stuff. I have had one spam mail today. I did briefly have a .com domain, and despite no external links and that I never used the address on public lists, it got almost instantly spammed. My conclusion is that you are more likely to be a target with a .com domain. Cheers, Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: http://www.locolomo.org
