In the past couple days, I have started getting a bunch of new spam that makes it through gmail's filters. It's mostly from sites where I have established a relationship on purpose, but the email is unwelcome. I am normally very good about opting out of ads, updates, or whatever upon registration. I try to give a unique email address to each site I register with, so I know where spam is coming from. This isn't always possible. At any rate, I noticed that my old email address gets most of my spam.
The sites that are most annoying are ZDNet/TechRepublic, Barnes and Noble, NewEgg, and Verizon. I occasionally see email from other sites as well (even amazon!).
So, when you subscribe to any site, make sure to UNcheck those quirky boxes asking to send you junk email.
