Change your email address… 😛 Oh, and start using Thunderbird for your email client, or whatever they are calling it these days.It has a learning spam filter, and it works pretty well. It also has the ability to read the source code of an email without executing anything that might be lurking there. I love using that feature to spot phishing attacks and send them back messages saying how they suck at life… ---
