Any particular type of spam? The Gmail I use for this and related sites (Handmade Music Clubhouse, etc.) gets next to no spam.

I doubt it is coming from here. The spammers just use random name generation stuff to find emails that are not posted anywhere. I had the same thing happen to me a while back.

This happens routinely with Hotmail and Yahoo accounts. Was your new account set up with one of them?

Do they sell their mailing or subscriber lists? That's usually the way these things start...

not that i know of. i think maybe like dan mentioned its just a random name generation thing as its just badwolf @ should have put a 1 or something in there i guess. oh well i guess its not a big deal i was just curious if anyone else had problems. i know sometimes spammers have web spiders that search websites for emails or whatever thought maybe that had happened here

Once and a great while someone like " I.M. Friendly" manages to get approved as a member, joins several groups in just a few minutes, and sends out messages to everyone who has allowed email alerts from the groups. It's usually something like " Joe Guy's Fly-By-Night Online Lumberyard "

Yea, but I have gotten pretty good at catching them and denying their membership. Lots of them are using disposable email addresses just so they can register. If I see someone registering with a disposable email address, I automatically deny them membership.
