    It's called a bot... If it's listed somewhere, someone is going to get it.. That someone is just script that harvests emails at random....

    Best thing you can do is get an ISP that has a decent spam filtering system IMO.

    So when you register at a forum does it get listed, does this forum prevent that?

    I believe you have the option to specify if your email is public or not in your control panel.. I think by default it is not public..

    I was assuming you were referring to an email posted in public thread.. In that case, it is going to get sucked up by a bot.
