Find out who sold your email-id to Spammer



Well, there are many ways by a spammer can get your mail id for example if you have left your mail id in any forum or website, or if you sign up on any website and they don't keep your mail id confidential etc. In these 2 examples, of course you know better where you wrote ur mail id ever, but what in second case..how you will know that 'this or that' website sold your mail id to spammers? Well here is a trick for that.
Each time when you sign up on a website, then add the addressing tag with your mail id. Addressing tag is something that used to filter mails. This can be add with any mail id using the symbol '+', which is ignored while sending a mail to that address.
For example: if you have mail id abc@gmail.com then you can also write abc+def@gmail.com.
So if you are doing sign up on any website say youmint.com then you can write your mail address as abc+youmint@gmail.com
By doing that if you ever got spam and your mail id in that mail is abc+youmint@gmail.com, then you can easily know that they sold your mail id to spammers.
Note: Many websites dont allow you to use + symbol in mail ids, so you try to use another separators like hyphen(-) or equals(=) .
Update 31/1/2012: Gmail is no more accepting separators hyphen(-) or equals(=). But still you can use plus(+).
