I just added a new address to my adelphia.net cable modem account.  I had to talk to their tech support to do it, but that’s another story of their crappy service (although the access speed is great).  It’s an amazingly simple name (just a single character) and it was surprising that nobody had already taken it.

I sent mail from my other Adelphia address to it to verify that it was setup properly.  It hasn’t been used for anything else.

It took less than 15 minutes to get my first spam.  While writing this I got another, which also had a virus.  Maybe that’s why the address was available.
