Anyone else having a problem? Has there been another leak of Plus Net email addresses?

takes me ages to dump them once a month....no telling her why or how to stop them, I think she revels in the number of messages she gets ! ! ! .

@shutter: my wife is the same, it doesn't seem to matter that half the messages are from African Royalty

The time that the Plus Net email addresses were leaked, mine thankfully was not affected. However another mailbox I had set up on my Plus Net account was destroyed. Luckily it was only used to forward mail through from a seperate domain name so I was able to change the Plus Net mailbox without changing the actual email address.

I managed to get a really nice one (to me) and was glad of it because I didn't like my username one at all.
Using the alias facility and being very, very careful I haven't had any significant spam since then (touch wood).
Just had a bit a few months ago - it was a problem with the catchall setting on my mailbox. It seemed to switch itself back on very briefly but PN fixed it immediately.
