Is gmail.com the next for /dev/null?

    I dont know if I'm the only one, but since gmail is gone public, I get thousands of spam messages thru my feedback form, forum posts, and tons of link submissions in my links section.
    After mail.ru and cachette.com , will gmail be the next one to go in bulk mail?

    I get bulk mail too. but why to leave your email address lying around on the internet.

    some email addresses should be only used for specific purposes.

    You must remember guiddy, that the service you use doesn't matter if you leave your address open for spam bots.

    I doubt this will happen, gmail is usually not a victim of spam users.

    If it does happen, I guess I will need to keep using my private email.

    I think as Gmail has a feature of using client email program , this will make it easier for spammers.

    I guess you folks did not get the point: I did not talk about spam emails, but people (or bots) registering on my websites to post spam in forums, submit porn or pills links, etc. , and lately most of them have a gmail address.
    I guess I will have to disallow registering from free email services and live happy.
