    Hello everybody in the house,
    Sometimes i do get a lot of messages in my mail box which were meant for advertising purpose. Though, i did wonder how those people get my mails even if it is just oppened. Please can anybody tell me how those advertisers get the e-mails because i also need to get the e-mails for advertisement?

    They normally get the emails if you post them in public places where they scan pages to extract the email addresses.

    In some sites while subscribing newsletters they will assure "NO SPAM".
    By subsribing many newletters also ther is a possibility of getting those ads.
