Increase in SPAM?

Hey Randy,

I am not sure if this is the right forum to ask this but in the past few days my FT only email account has been getting hit with dozens of x-rated spams a day. The title for each email is SEXUALLY EXPLICIT and then a random string of numbers/letters. Prior to that I never got any spam into this account.

The Spam filter is catching all of them, but I am wondering if something changed on your end to make this happen? I know one place I worked they did something to our email database and we went from having passive email addresses to active email addresses and subsequently started getting tons of spam emails a day.

Is this just luck of the draw here or maybe someone kindly signed me up for these emails (has happened before )

Thanks for your assistance.

Cheers,
MapleLeaf
