Riva,

There are so many ways this could happen it is hardly worth working out how. Is it all on one address? Then close that address is the best advice. But you may prefer to use filters to block it.

I find a ton of stuff comes from a mailing list that operates by mail server; whether they guess names (and mine is pretty common) or whether they hack into the databases I don't know.

But it is also easy enough to pick up emails from lists like this !! If it is your permanent address then you might need to check what youi've been doing (er, just in email terms) in the days before the porn started.

Subject: [wdvltalk] Pornographic e-mails


Hi all,

I have been getting tons of pornographic e-mails and I don't know how that happened. I am very careful about what I sign up for and if I give an e-mail address I use a freebie one if I am not sure of the site. It is getting a little frustrating getting these and I know that there is probably nothing I can do about it but if anyone has any ideas???

TIA,
Riva
