I can probably figure out why you get hit by any junk email/spam. Answer the following questions to yourself. If you answer yes to any of them, you'll know why:
1. Have you posted to any newsgroup?
2. Do you have a mailto: link with that email address on any web page?
3. Have you done business with Amazon or eBay? (they spam and sell their member lists to "associates" and other companies as another way of making business)
4. Have you written that email address in the email field of any registration card? (same reasoning as #3)
Those are the primary ways of getting spammed, these days. Here's the problem - once your email address gets harvested, it often gets added to a list of email addresses sold by spammers on those annoying-as-hell spam CDs that get sold to more and more spammers.
However, if you live in a state with antispam laws, you have recourse. For more information on how to sue spammers in small claims court using any antispam laws your state may have on the books:

my bigfoot.com address filters out damn near all of the spam. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img] Small amounts still get through, though. I recently installed a spammer "black list," though, and stopped much annoyingness. Sends it right to the trash upon reception.
So we have a [i]member[/i] known asa KinkyJ. Haven't seen you much around.

Well originally the rendering forum was intended for that purpose, but it turned more into people showing off their pictures. Then Sanfam renamed it the artwork forum so he could post his photoshop stuff there. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

It would be nice to have one specific to 3D programs like Lightwave, Maya, Soft Image, 3D Studio Max, etc.
I hang out at the Lightwave forum on B5MG still, but there should be a forum for those out here who do not frequent that site...
