i have about 4 email accounts, 2 of them are hounded by spam so i use those for online ordering and i have 1 isp and one from onebox when they are free that i cannont cancel and keeps sending crud to my isp email, how they got it is beyond me but, now that you have to pay for onebox you can access your old accounts to delete them which means i have a perminent spam filter

Jobeleca: To get this stopped you are going to need to do a bit of fact finding. If you look at the message source of one of the mails you should be able to identify what IP address it is actually coming from. If you then do a traceroute on it you should be able to discover the ISP of the user. Let them know what has been going on and they should be able to track down who it was and let them know that their PC may be infected. A good website with a visual traceroute is http://www.visualroute.com Just enter the ip address and press enter to see where in the world the source was. You can also get information about the isp once it has tracked down the source.

One. Well actually two, but I never use my work account. The one that I do use then is over seven years old now. And lucky me, it has a spam blocker, which intercepts just about all spam.

As for accounts I use actively, probably four. Two from my ISP, one from MyRealBox and one from SpamCop. Just about everything gets forwarded through SpamCop, though, so it's not like I have to check a bunch of different accounts.
