Everyone who has their e-mail address in their profile will get spam. Don't use your main address.

Simple counter measure:

say mine is cheekykid@moon.net

change to cheeky_nospam_kid@moon.net

Most people will know that the _nospam_ is for the automated programs that search for e-mail addresses, and they will omit it.

Post your e-mail address in ANY new / chat group and the spammers will get it. Just a fact of life on the Internet.

Best never to use your main e-mail address in any chat forum. One day you may find hundreds or thousands of e-mail in your box and you may have to change your address to put a stop to it. Happened to me last fall.
