dmp3 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Didn't know exactly where to put this, so I thought General Discussion would be safe. I just got my Gmail account no more then a week ago, and started using it as my default email, getting rid of my AOL email account which I had for years. I know, AOL... (get those laughs in) :) The thing was, I had AOL for so long, I wanted to keep the email address cause honestly, there wasn't anything better IMO. But then Gmail came out, and thanks to Sublim3, I finally got my own account. I changed all my forum's settings, to use the Gmail email, since I was gonna' start using that from then on. I changed about, 4 forum's email settings, and about 4 or 5 online shopping websites (Major companies, such as Newegg). So Gmail was great, never ANY spam, until this morning when I noticed one mail in my Inbox (Via.gra gives new meaning to "early riser"!). I also noticed another email (Guaranteed Best Mort.gage Rates qfobejqt), but this was in the spam folder. Is anyone else getting spam in there Gmail accounts? This is for people who are constantly using there accounts. And how long was it before you did see any spam, if you are receiving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted June 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2004 I have had mine for a few weeks now and no spam yet... Try reporting it. I remember someone saying something about a central spam blocker on googles servers, so that should help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerf Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Some ass holes dont have a gmail accounts so search for obvious email domains e.g alice@gmail.com and add them to spam sites. I had a good email address one time, never signed up on any site with it. Suddenly SPAM. Went to the site, emailed them and found out that I added myself to their email list(which i did not).
