I am in computer spam withdrawl

I use Activatormail.com, free, no spam or viruses ever. But thats what they promise.

If you are wondering, no ads either.

For what it’s worth, my company’s email system was down for maintenance a couple of months ago, and a lot of us set up Hotmail accounts to provide a point of contact for outside vendors. I used my internal email name, which luckily had not been taken, and I got my first spam seven minutes after setting up the box. The only thing I can conclude is that the biggest spam outfits constantly bombard the major email domains (AOL, Hotmail, etc.) with millions of randomly generated names (“aaaaa,” “aaaab,” “aaaac,” etc.) up to a certain length; their automated mailing system must recognize when a message quits bouncing, and shifts that name over to the “good” list. I have no other way to explain how the spammers found me within seven minutes.

Maybe this should go on a different thread, but I’ll ask anyway:
Has anyone ever bought anything from spam messages? I don’t mean just replied to the mail, but actually bought something, refinanced their mortgages, bought the pills that do something or the other to your nether-regions?
I guess someone must have, but until now I have never met anyone who admits it! What gives?
