They're usually pretty good about catching spam, there must be a loophole where the value is stored somewhere and the site scrapers are grabbing it.

I use gmail exclusively because I hardly ever get spam mail. In fact I don't think I can't recall ever getting any...

it's not that the gmail account holders get spam... unfortunately, most spammers have switched from aol or hotmail to gmail, so a bunch of the spam mails come from bogus gmail accounts.

I use yahoo and gmail but I registered here under yahoo. And like Lori I get far less spam on gmail. I'm a mod on another forum where we've been getting bombarded with spam registrations as well. I just google the email address and the IP and you'll quickly catch the spammers since there are so many sites out there tracking them. You may have too much volume for that to be practical though. Not sure if when they sign up it gives you the location of their IP but I've found about 99% of the spam registrations come from overseas.
