C1 Looking For Status Send PM Posts: 0 Threads: 0 Money: £0.18 (D) (+ Friend)	Quoted :: ZoGgEr! there's no way a bot could get to your email since July 13th, and I'm not sure you even had GMail then... I haven't had any spam the whole time I've got it. Are you sure you haven't written it on a forum somewhere, though. I have, but never in its actual form. Spider, I don't know what your address is, but if it's something 'obvious' it could just be guessed by a spam generating thingy. They send out a lot of emails to random addresses not knowing whether or not they exist.. The only message board that could have shown my email is the google message board. I posted a suggestion about gmail there. That's the only time I used my email on any forum besides this one.

Any bot trawling the public Google newsgroup will get your address quite easily. http://groups.google.com/groups?q=theletterc I don't know how well carried it is, but I can get to that newtgroup at news://news.karoo.co.uk/google.public.support.general Typo above, but I think I'll leave it.

The filter is excellent. The only way you could've recieved that SPAM is if someone entered your email into a site that sends the email advertising and whatnot.
