Hi

Anyone else getting spammed with subjects like "fred.bloggs, this that and the other", where there are 5 or 6 addressees, all of the form [email protected]? I've suddenly started getting these.

And - does anyone know whether Freeola intend to assist us in the fight against spam?

If you don't give your Freeola address out to untrusty people and don't display it on a website, you'll be fine.

Sites 'mine' websites looking for email addresses. They won't be able to find a freeola address unless it's been told to them as Freeola isn't ~that~ popular compared to Hotmail where spammers spam EVERY combination possible!

And report that Freeola address to Freeola if it's spam, that should solve the problem, unless it's fake.

Well you're lucky then. I had to change my BTInternet email address after I was getting over 70 of the damn things every day.

Apparently, BTInternet/BTOpenworld email addresses are often targeted, and mine being thomas . thorpe, it was easily guessed.
