if I may point out an anecdote, I left a dialup isp 7 years ago, when I worked for them as a consultant 2 years ago, they recreated my account. The first 100 or so emails to that address were spam... Apparently that address was still selling well after 4-5 years of deletion...

The only thing I've seen for certain is that the older an E-mail address is (once it has gotten on at least one spammer's list), the more spam it gets. Regardless of whether it's bounced or not. Spammers are still selling each other E-mail addresses I haven't used in 4 years. |
