Configure an individual Mail address for every site you need one for. You then know who sells or loses your address without telling you.

Do you have some tidbits to share on who is being naughty? I'm curious.

Sadly no, I haven't received any spam on my 131 forwarding addresses. I have however, received spam on my new main account after sharing the address with my local hairdresser.

Fucking hair dressers, can't trust em. That's why I'm bald

What you need to do is get each individual hair cut by a different hairdresser and then you can see which one is selling your account details or something

I recently started getting spam to my dailymotion account.
