Snow-Woman 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 OK so I've had my keitai for however long (a month or so?) and when I first got it I set up a mail address on there. But I haven't told anyone the address yet. Not one person. In the last few days though I have started to get spam mail coming in the middle of the night.... 6 so far now in 2 days. Very annoying. How did they get my address and what do you do to stop spam on your keitai? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 change your address. If you haven't told anyone your new address yet, then no hassles. I was getting heaps for quite a while. I changed my address and now nothing Link to post Share on other sites
Snow-Woman 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Right - but I hadn't told anyone or any machine or anything. So I'm confused as to why I am getting them. Surely changing address will be just the same? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 not necessarily. Put a number or two into your address and make it something not so easier for a computer to generate at random. It is possible that it was leaked from your provider, but more likely that you have an address that is quite easy for a computer generate by putting names or common words together.

tsondaboy 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Also, usually the default keitai-email address is just your number, ie 08055554444@docomo etc. which is pretty easy to guess even if you still haven’t told anyone your email. Change your email preferably to something longer than 10 characters, including numbers, capital letters and dots “.” in it. Link to post Share on other sites
Snow-Woman 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 OK thank you. Well, I did change my mail number so it wasn't the default. But I will try another one with dots and stuff. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Something like: I.Like.2.m.Of.Snow@docomo.ne.jp would do the trick. Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Get one and they will come flooding in. It's annoying, so much I turned mine off. Hardly used it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
