    Getting Russian Spam!

    Just after registering here I started getting Russian Spam. I never used get Spam in Russian. I do Get lot of spam (Filtered by Excellent spam filters by Google), Never got one in Russian ever since my domain was registered in 2004 (and created an email-id in Google Apps). I suspect my mail id has been harvested here.

    Could you really find any security breach and plug it? Or is there any of my privacy setting to be tweaked?

    Not necessary. I am using Google Apps for Your Domain for my email needs. It has an excellent spam filter. I did not get even one spam into my inbox. I was just wondering if there is something wrong in my privacy settings in this forum. I am 99% sure that the new Russian spammers reaped my email id from this forum. (In no other forum or website I participate, Russian is one of the languages. The flood started immediately after I registered.

    Never mind. I regularly have a cursory glance at my spam folder to ensure that legitimate mail does not get there and empty it. It is not a big headache for me.
