Re: dirty trick (only worse)

--Its quite common to receive emails with subjects "Your invoice" or "About
the question you asked" or something like that, and then some pron site
leading from it. You cant do anything about it. Once you're on their mailing
list, you're being sent crap, the mailing list is shared by companies (who
obviously sell it for big bucks), and your email just gets around.

Replying to the address wont solve anything, in fact, it'll only make things
worse. If its an automated system, it'll log the email as 'active', and
you'll get triple the amount of junk. So the best way is just to ignore
those emails, or get a new, 'clean' account and use the old 'public' account
for mailing lists/forums etc.
