I know many of you dislike HRK allready, so here's another reason for you:

I'm using a catch-all email address, which means I will receive any mail sent to any address on my domain. For hrk I have been using hrkgame@<mydomain>.

Since little more then a week ago I'm getting 5-6 spam mails per day to exactly this email address. Seems my address was leaked somehow.

Theoretically the spammers could have gotten my address by bruteforcing/dictionary harvesting, but thats kinda unlikely.

My server automatically denies all clients if they're on tracked by me RBLs, and I didn't receive spam since a really long while.

And yes, e-mail leaks are so common I stopped caring, instead - I just filter all that trash before it even arrives to my mailbox.

my spamfilter found them all allready and I usually just abandon compromised email addresses alltogether :)

Can confirm, same here (although I think it started more than a week ago, and I haven't gotten any recently -- must be in my RBL filters ;))

I believe I used them once. very little spam ever makes it through my filter, so I didn't notice any difference

That isn't spam, it's clearly phishing! Now you see why they're giving away games for free?
And that's why I stick to IndieGala for free games, as they have my data anyway.
