I went to a new free web mail provider, never have posted my rendo only address anywhere (tho I guess you can send an e mail FROM here, I only us the message part here myself)... and have been SO FAR pretty happy - this company (not naming on purpose) seems to have a better spam blocker/filter in place so far... life has become about 99% better and more fun, getting and using all my rendo notices...

I really am beginning to think it is some sort of hackers/bots that somehow get the e mails off the e mail providors....oh wait, that theory does not hold, when I tried using my own private web host e mail for rendo only and that got flooded right away... scrunches up brows.... oh well... who really knows but the hackers!?  

after today getting the spam in my SITE MAIL here, and finding a thread on that situation...well... it's just plain sad that this is just reality. Must be that there are actually enough people who actually reply to make it worth the effort of the hacker/spammers, right?? So maybe the better way to handle it is a huge campaign to yell as loud as we can DON'T EVER OPEN OR RELPY TO E MAILS WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW THE SENDER.... kind of thing?!
