every day sometimes twice a day my email junk box fills up with adds to buy ED drugs off the internet. about 50 per day. I just delete but does everyone have this problem ? Can't block them all I don't think. Are they getting email addresses from PERB or CERB ? is that even legal? Can you even buy that sort of thing off the net in Canada ? Just wondering
curious about spamming

Maybe some, but if you are getting a lot of ED related spam you're browsing too many porn sites.
Nope, I very rarely look at porn sites, just looked at the one link in a post here a couple weeks ago. I was getting spam every day before that. Most of it gets thrown into a junk mail folder that I just delete without opening any. It seems to be getting worse and mostly different addresses. Sometimes I even get them from my address. WTF
Only sites I look at are PERB, CERB and CL anything else has nothing to do with sex.
I'm not a member of CERB, so I can't answer about that but since I've never gotten an email similar to what you describe at the email address that I used to register on PERB, I doubt that PERB is giving our email adresses to spammers.
Have you ever posted your email adress on any web site? Or used it to contact any of the advertisers on CL?

I don't directly read any e-mails that come into my personal computer, even from known people without checking it out first. I now use Thunderbird but used eudora (now defunct) in the past. with either program, I turned of / closed the message preview pane as the previewing would call up any remote content the message called for. Instead, i reply to all and look at the message generated. You can see who all was cc'ed the original message & also what that message said.
yes that makes sense and I'll see what happens. I do have a few contacts that send me lots of emails and I know I'm on thier mailing list. Maybe it's coming from there

Ya you're right. I don't think it's coming from PERB or CERB or even CL and don't give my address out much
