Yea, everyone gets spam.
Unless you have the spam blockers(I don't)

But how do you get spam that's not even addressed to you?
Most of the emails I get are addressed to someone else, with similar letters.
And I've never given out my email address online, except for this website. (and jagex, when I still played )
For example.

mine: mo........@iowatelecom.net
spam sent to: ...m......o..@iowatelecom.net

How does that work??

EDIT: Also, this didn't start til after I got DSL...

They should call it Spamnet.

They probably have a program that runs through all possible e-mail addresses and e-mails to them.
