Spam Themes
 
Being badly affected by spam at the moment. Several themes recur:-

T.I.N.Y. S.L.U.TzY T.E.E.N.s F** and variations thereof
"Here's the newsletter you signed up for"
Viagra and all sorts of other drugs
"How was your vacation?"
etc
etc

Do the themes give a clue as to the source of my e-mail address?(not that I've ever knowingly browsed anything to do with lively teens, viagra, etc!!) The spam filter sends most of it to a bulk folder, but I get around ten a day in my regular folder.

Also had two recently with aviation themes - I've registered with various bona fide aviation websites over the last year or two - is it possible that they aren't as secure as I thought, or is this coincidence? In this situation, does de-registering help tp stop the spam or is it too late?

Hansard,

If you are getting spam with aviation themes, it is possible that one of the sites you signed up for sold your email address.

You might want to try:

Firetrust's Mailwasher Pro

Which is a much better option than just sending the email to your bulk folder.

Take Care,

Richard
