    I'm always surprised that they know I want a larger penis.........I use hotmail and it does a pretty good job of sorting spam, a lot better than a couple of years ago.

    Another thing to do to keep your email address off lists is to get your friends/family to send you emails using BCC: instead of To:

    I've lost track of the number of times I get jokes or interesting info sent from friends, which also list the email addresses of the previous 100+ recipicants as well.

    i keep getting stupid spam !!!!!! emails with links to sites etc.. but no unsubscribe link how do i stop these coming to my mail address?

    thanks di

    As has already been said try using a different email name for commercial sites you don't know well. When I subscribe to newsletters or request email communications from charities, mail order stores, commercial enquiries etc I always use a non-essential email address, then if I find spam builds up on this I can cancel it and start a new one for the same purpose. I'm with AOL (left many times over the years but always seem to come back!) and their spam filter is very good so it separates possible spam even on my non-essential address. Their own filter is good - I get probably 4 or 5 possible spam mails a week on the vulnerable address, compared with 20 or more a day a few years ago.
