I've been getting them regularly too, mostly all from the same spammer, at
least from the looks of the headers. I've also had one spammer sending me
ads quite often, but the admin over his service does not seem to be
willing to take action. I didn't get any spam at all until I started
posting to classiccmp, and I suspect my address got harvested early on.
The volume of spam hasn't increased too much, but even 2-3/day tends to be
annoying.

I don't see what they are up to. Maybe this
is used to create an
exclusive list for the Nigerian letters. I get more of these now at
this mail address then I do with my hotmail account. I'm only on two
mail groups with this account. My hotmail is bursting with offers to
enhance or reduce various parts of my body.
I can't think why anyone smart enough to work on classic computers
would be stupid enough to fall for one of these scams. I've even
started replying to some of these scammers to let them know that their
email address harvesting methods were being used by so many other
scammers that they were most likely worthless. I do this in the hopes
that they'll find some other method that doesn't include me.
I have been getting alot of nigerian letters lately, something I really
never got in the past at all.
