I took out a trial .mac membership last week, since than i've had about five or six emails from pornographic sites or people trying to sell me viagra.
How did they get me email so quickly, I'm don't think Apple gave them it , or did, they does anyone know for sure if Apple gives out your email to anyone who asks for it.
I've tried emailing Apple but got no response. thanks all for an intresting mac forum
