How much spam you get may depend on the first letter in your e-mail address, a study reveals. The analysis, of more than 500 million junk messages, revealed those letters that get more junk than average.
The study (carried out by University of Cambridge, UK, computer scientist Dr Richard Clayton) found that e-mail addresses starting with an A, M or S got more than 40% spam. By contrast those beginning with a Q or Z got about 20%. The difference could be down to the way spammers generate e-mail addresses they want to target.
