According to a latest report the spammers start spamming people using mailing lists and these generally are hosted on Alphabetical formats because of which the email address starting with ‘A’ would get 15% more email spams when compared to the spams recieved by emails started with the letter ‘Z’. This is the reason i was recommending you to change your names if you need a better email box.
Its also recommended to use a ‘DOT’ or ‘Underscore’ in your email name because this can also add some less chances of email spams which are sent on dictionary attack.Try out with 2 new emails starting with ‘A’ & ‘Z’ and check out which gets more SPAM.
Thanks for this one..
i would try to implement it..
i get around 1000 spams on my yahoo mail..

My surname starts with V so I should consider myself lucky, I get at least one or two Nigerian letters per day.

Reading your post, the only thing creeping in my mind was; how much spam will Aaron receive! Probably the only name starting with Aa!
Even though my name starts with S, i am pretty uncomfortable with the amount of SPAM i am getting. It’s a difficult image to shake knowing you are having worse time ten me with Spams
