How does one get so much spam?

Spam Quarantine SizesSo I decided to glance across the spam quarantine boxes today, and saw some rather shocking statistics. Note this isn't anywhere close to the average (most people have under 100 over the same 3 weeks), and yes, these are for individual addresses. Even public contact ones we publish on major web pages don't get this much junk. Which makes me really wonder what these people are doing with their addresses. 8485 in 20 days is 424 per day.

I blame Anna Kournikova ;)

But is it her fault, or the fault of people wanting to see pictures of her?

Yeah... I get more spam on my Bethel email than any of my other addresses.

Though having eight thousand emails in a month seems a little excessive.

That's what happens when you shot Osama and hope to win a prize. I think we just have some very violent students at this school.
