I have received 811 spam messages in the last 30 days.

I am very grateful for gmail's quite effective spam filter.

I keep getting spam in my inbox. It started when I signed up for Ambrosia's email newsletter.

You know, I only provided my gmail account to one site and the next day I had to start emptying my spam folder on a daily basis (4+ spam emails per day; it wasn't even anything near a major site).

In the past 30 days, I have gotten over 2150 spam messages. I can't give you an exact figure, because a few of them have gotten through, and no longer exist.

Depending on what kind of site it was...
They could have sold it to other people.

aresaxis.net was the only one, and if they sold it to the people sending me this kind of spam...

I find it more likely that they have been hacked-it's been done before.

I'm not getting spam anymore, I'm getting other people's bounced-back spam. Somebody out there is spoofing my domain name, and my postmaster account is getting the refuse. ######ing spammers. I'm pissed enough to sue them, if I had any idea who they were or had the money and time to get a lawyer and do it.
