Lots of spam received

I started my ezine through aweber a few months ago and now my ezine reply email address receives a lot of spam emails every single day.

I never posted the email address to any website so I'm just wondering how the spamers get it?

 

Its simply because of when u submit your email into a single site or directories,their partners will also email you about their products,business etc.Even i am receiving 50+ emails per day from an unknown address..

 

Oh I mean is it possible that someone subscribed my ezine just want to collect the ezine reply email(the email address which sends the newsletter) and spam to that email?

I saw some ezines even have image captcha on their subscribe page! Does it has something to do with what I mentioned above?

 

It only takes one of your ezine subscribers to have a virus on their machine that collects email addresses and you're on the spammers list.

 

Or some kind of automatic subscriptions, to grab emails to database and spam then...

 

maybe they're using software to grab your email

 

There has to be a solution to all these SPAM emails! I get lots of spam too on email addresses that I haven't ever shared with people also, which is very very weird.

 

Spam will ruin the ezines and the email marketing world...

I just had my email BoxTrapper enabled.

 

I have a feeling alot of sites that say they will not sell or give your email to anybody, actually goes against their privacy policy and does it. I personally do not do it and never have, but I have noticed the increase of spam hitting my spam filters.

 

Oh I heard 80% of spams in the world are from only 10 people, 80/20 formula again

Incredible...

 

I use temporaryinbox.com you can forward you're emails and then when you're getting too much spam change it.

 

They are selling your email address must likely..
