I curious if anyone can answer this question for me. No big deal, I'm just curious about it:
I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser, and Mozilla Thunderbird as my email account. But my IP is AT&T, who uses YAHOO. So my email really goes to the YAHOO account, then when I sign onto Thunderbird, Thunderbird accesses all the emails from YAHOO and puts them into my 'in' box. For all of these years, I have received at least 75 or 100 spam emails daily. I frequently delete any cookies. Then all of a sudden, about two months ago, I stopped getting any spams or only got 1 or 2 a day. Now, they've started coming once again. Yesterday I got 12 and today there were 32. Does anyone know how spammers get your address? I don't do much surfing on the internet, however, I do order things now and again online. And the spam messages that I get have absolutely NOTHING to do with the kinds of things I look at on the internet. They are usually pornographic in nature...the spams, not my surfing!!
