Today I got 10 spam emails today. I never opened them, but there titles of things I have never seen. I haven't submited my email to any sites and I haven't posted it anywhere, so the spam must have came from somewhere. I think it was from gmail to show how well there Spam filter works..

i have not received any spam yet. ( and dont want to )

I highly doubt gmail would send spam to you in orderto show off the filter.

What were the titles of the mail?

you've given your email address to many people on msn, maybe they signed you up for some spam ;)

It seems that Gmail does give you spam somehow. I get around 3 spam emails a day, every day almost the same stuff just with different titles. The suspicous thing is, that they're addressed to my Gmail account instead of spider-web, and barely a few people not on my MSN contacts know my Gmail account....

I've only got one spam email period, and the people I've given accounts to havn't got spam yet either.

Your Gmail address in your BTP profile. It's unlikely, but possible, that that's the reason.

Bots may get your mails because they are not hidden in your profiles.

But they are hidden in your profiles. Logout and check profiles as a guest.

But one of those bot thingies may have a way to view it. How about Contra forums?

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..

I'm not saying it's likely, but someone could be logged in to BTP and have a virus that scans their cache for email addresses. Same thing for anyone else that has your address in their address book, actually.

The only way to be completely safe from spam is to not have an email address.
