I abandoned the email address with my ISP Wanadoo/Orange here in

hack and grab their entire database of email names a couple of years
ago. Either that or they sold it to spammers! There was a lot of talk
on forums at the time about the explosion in spam to Wanadoo/Orange
email addresses. The address gets a thousand spams a week. I don't even
look at it any more.

Interesting! I've never had any spam on my Wanadoo/Orange account but
then I never use that address.
