Some of my e-mail addresses that have never been disclosed on the 'Net
My impression is that most spamtargets are now harvested from peoples addressbooks and Inboxes through bot-activity and malware, not from the www.

and that are consequently used as spam traps (which, incidentally, feed
directly into SpamCop's official spamtrap feed) receive up to 100k
messages a day of "background noise".
Jeez, that is impressive and scary. Is there any "protection" in front of these adresses?

I think I get around 1k spam a day on my accounts - a handful make it through the filters to my inbox, but nothing significant enough to actually irritate me.
