I have one email address that I use for business communication with only one individual. For 3 years I had received nothing on that one other than the aforementioned business mail. Not long ago I received a bogus PayPal "Phishing" email that wasn't even addressed directly to that account. I made the mistake of forwarding it to spoof@paypal.com and have been regularly receiving spam addressed to that account ever since. I wrote to PayPal about it but have decided not to forward anything else to their spoof box. Mike
