I have an email that I use. I bought a domain a few years back an use <myname>@<thisdomain>.co.uk. It's about as personalised as I can get. Although this domain is not hosted anywhere I have set up email forwarding. I only use this address for trusted sources.
Until last week it was a 'clean' email address and I never got any spam. In the last week, after 4 years of having it set up, I've received 2 nigerian 419 scam emails. This makes me worry that this address is now 'public' and liable to get all sorts of spam now.
Is there any way I can:
a) find out who 'leaked' the email address (i use it on a couple of websites for ordering goods - supposedly secure and i did tick the "don't keep me informed...." box)
b) put spam blocks on a non-hosted, forwarded email? I'd be really pissed off if I had to stop using this address cos of spam.
cheers
