I get all kinds of spam I think what happens is the mailing list companies mine sites like this for email addresses and then you are fair game for everything and anything. Since I'm registered for hundreds of sites, it's inevitable that someone would sell me to the mailers. Presumeably if your IP isn't fixed (and thus traceable to you) and digitalme prevented people from viewing the info in your browser about your email address then they couldn't get your email address. However the real virtue of digitalme would be if sites simply accept the fact that all communications with you go through the digitalme vault period. They never would really get your email address, only your public id. To route a message they would have to go through the vault and send it to your public id and get permission from you to have it received. Permission you could presumably give without giving them your email address. Ask the people at Novell whether this is possible.
