i was starting to get over a hundred a day on my old account so i deleted it and started fresh.

The trick is to not post your email address publicly on webpages and forums so spambots dont find it and sell it to spammers.

Try to hide you email at all times and when giving it to another person, make sure its in a private chat or pm.

If you must type your email out in the public domain don't just go A@B.com, append something like "nospam" on the end or modify it to ensure that if any bots pick it up it won't go to you. The most popular method at the moment is "dilbert AT company DOT com"
