My email address has been sold. Well, one of them has been sold.

An advantage of owning your own domain is that you can use any email addresses you can think of within that domain. Anything before the @ sign can pretty much be made up. I use this to my advantage when I sign up for a service or am required to give an email address anywhere on the Internet. I usually create the address so that I can associate it with the particular site or service where I was signing up. What this does is let me carefully monitor who I am getting email from. I recently began receiving spam messages addressed to one of these unique email addresses. I downloaded the Morpheus filesharing client a ways back and needed to provide an address. I used an address which specifically identified Morpheus. As you can guess, I am now receiving a ton of spam to this unique address, which would indicate that Morpheus, MusicCity.com, or their parent StreamNetworks Inc have provided my email address to someone who is sending spam. Shame on them...

I do the same thing and I too have been getting a bunch of spam to my morpheusmusiccity email address. Filters to the rescue!

that is very true. Morpheus is old skool however
