This genuinely infuriates me because I feel that they are violating my private territory. I often receive 7 or 8 copies of the same email with a different sender address, so they are obviously either being sold my email address or using a site that has acquired my address.
I used to register for free email addresses at various ISPs, so that when spam became prolific I could simply register another email address elsewhere. Now many of these companies insist that you use their connection in order to use the emails, which rather restricts my option.
Last year I bought a top level domain that reflects my own surname, which meant that I could set up mail redirect to my ISP and use the email address format of forename@surname.st, where forename and surname are my actual name. I have never used the domain for a site, and only gave the address to personal contacts, but now I receive 20 or 30 spam mails per day to that address.
Who has sold my email address, my ISP or the Domain Registrar?

I don't know exactly know how they got my email adress (probably from chain letters), but I got a lot of them in my emails. But I've tried not to open any of them especially from unknown. As I've been warning that they might send/ attach some computer virus that can caused alot of difficulties in your computer systems. It happened to one of my friend. It erased her hard disk.... So, I always try to back up all my files that I have in my computer and not open any spams !!!!
