Spam filter I'm afraid.. Most emails of this nature have an opt out, or unsubscribe facility, but it's well known that selecting to opt out, let's a lot of these companies know your email addy is live. They then sell/pass on your email addy to the highest bidder and"Hey Presto" millions of spam emails arrive in yer inbox.

I had spam sent throught me to people I had recently e mailed ,potentially embarrassing and a bloody nuisance telling people it was nothing to do with me. Some were clients ,busines associates, timber yard and an old mate I hadn't talked to for year's who was particularly offended,owing to him having put on load's of weight and the rogue E mail was an American alternative for weight loss and he was not happy.

I use Thunderbird. After you have sent one or two messages to the 'junk' box it 'learns' your preference and sends all the repeat messages from the same source there automatically.

I just empty my junk every so often and the senders are none the wiser.
