Does anyone else get any spam emails from a porn site?

It shows a pictures saying FREE LIVE TEENS, ENTER HERE.

Its connected to a subdomain of site.voila.fr

I don't know how they have got my email address, becuase I don't use it
for
anything else but posting here!

But I do know it is VERY annoying! I get over 40 e-mails from them a day.
Its a pain in the back side as one would say!

Any feedback would be appreciated

I was receiving so much spam, I almost gave up using email. Somedays I'd
get five or more copies of the same "terrific offer" from five different
phony addresses. I brought this on by faithfully replying to the spammers
asking they remove my name from their list. Little did I know that was a
horrible mistake.

Then my sone told me about a free spam filter called Popfile. (
http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ ) It only took a short while to set it up.
(I did have help from my son who was already using it, but it seems pretty
straight-forward.)

Once you set up the filter, it takes a few hundred emails to learn what you
are wanting to accept and what you think is trash. In my case it was less
than a week, and I had captured more than 200 spams.

As of today, my results from POPfile are thus: in almost 7100 emails there
have been only 77 classification errors or almost 99% accuracy. Pretty darn
good for a free utility. The real beauty of this is that it does not
automatically delete anything. It just classifies your emails according to
parameters you establish, and then everything else is spam. A quick review
of the spam folder- nearly always correct- and everything hits the deleted
folder, and then on to spam Hell. If "good" emails are sent to the spam
folder, you can always recover them and relocate them to the proper folder.

As an example, for some reason emails from my wife were always classified as
spam. After the third one, I just setup a 'magnet' with her email address as
the criteria, and now everything she sends lands in the proper folder.

Previously I was spending more than 30 minutes a day trying to figure out a
technique to classify all the spams I get a day. Now, It takes less than
five minutes!
