I have bad news for everyone who thinks that by not giving their email address out actually does anything to prevent it from getting on a spam list. If you mother has the address in her address book and clicks on a bad link or opens an email with malware on it, your address is probably getting scraped from her recents list and address book. As soon as you use an email address to send anything to anyone, consider it compromised.
