I have noticed something recently that makes me wonder if the redirects are responsible. My email inbox has been filled with "spam"...advertisements from businesses with whom I have never had any prior contact and offering items in which I have no interest...ads for dating sites (Brazilian ladies, Russian ladies, Oriental ladies), ecigs (I'm not a smoker and never have been), mortgage refinancing, diet plans (at 5' 9" I weigh 147# and struggle to maintain that!!!)...40 or more each day.

Is it possible these redirects identify my email address and the entities associated with the redirects are selling it to all these spammers?

Perhaps it is coincidence...I am not very tech savvy...each day I "unsubscribe" from tens of unwanted spam sites to which I have never subscribed, but they always return.

Could the redirects be responsible?

Cheers?....certainly not for the spammers!!!
