    I guess I've been very lucky never to have a single spam to my gmail account. Nor has my girlfriend. But then, perhaps we don't have very "guessable" usernames.

    Shame to hear about SPAM problems.

    I too have the same problem with one of my gmail account. Surprisingly I have been very lucky never to have a single spam to my second gmail account.

    One single error and then you must change your email.

    Even they make me spam by filling a contact form on my site. It really annonying!

    I recently recieved some emails from a directory I submitted to but that was an error . The system was sending emails to all members from emails of other users .

    You say that you are blocking them . Are you blocking EMAIL ID's or adding some words to your spam list ?
    Cause they can change emails and send the same message .

    Regards

    Gmail catches 99% of the spam I get. Even then I get very little, thankfully. I have sooo much crap coming through my other domain based emails that I actually enjoy checking gmail while I just groan and hit delete on the others.

    I use my gmail account for posting to usenet. Took longer than I thought for the email address to be picked up. Now the spam is pouring in. lol

    I get very little spam on my Gmail, and fortunately the Spam folder manages to catch most of them. :)
