hi,
Im very careful where i put my work email address. For example amazon, ebay, aam, jboss, SUN etc i register with a yahoo or hotmail account. The reason for this is to avoid spam. I dont even set my out-of-office message in effort to avoid it.

After a couple of spam free years in the last 2 months Ive started receiving 10 or so mails a day about buying prescriptions, screensavers etc. I was racking my brains trying to work out where they got my email, this morning I figured it out. The only place where I stupidly gave out my work email was when I was registering for eircom broadband. Has anyone else had this experience with them?
 
You could easily start receiving spam emails to your work address if someone else with your address in their addressbook gets an infection.
