e mail spam

i'm getting bombarded (in my spam box) with Russian e-mails this last two days anybody else getting this

Nope, as I have two email addresses. One for signing up to places like this which does get spam and one proper address which I share with trusted contacts, which gets no spam at all.

i have 6 e-mail addresses the one im getting this spam from is on the e-mail i only use for banking etc
don't think it makes any difference which e-mail you have for "secure sites" it still gets thru
no prob as it goes to my spam box,just interested to see if anybody else affected by this Russian spam

I do get a few in my other email box. Things like "Hi I am Maria, I found you address through that dating site" and a picture of a young Russian lady.

The addresses are just generated by guessing. If you want to reduce spam then make a freaky name.

I am lucky. I get very little spam. My main email address is on a domain name that is no longer published anywhere besides DNS. It ws taken over many years ago and my address is aliased to different obscure username on a currenlyly active network.
