I don't know how it is with you guys, but I get a ton of spam and links to XXX rated sites. All of this stuff comes from spammers, bypassing the spam block I have activated. My email address with HOTMAIL seems to be the worst. My email address with the Dark Side is a close second worst.
By reading and understanding information contained in the email's header (right click on the email and select Properties, then select DETAILS) you can generally find out who is spamming you. Or at the very least, find the offending IP Address. 99.99 times out of 100, the FROM address is bogus.
