Creating a new account probably would only give them another address to send to.
They have software that automatically generates the addresses. I have a couple that
use very cryptic names in the addresses like an advanced password and they got those
right away. As far as having any access to your machine. The worst they can do at
this time is insert code that executes when you open the mail. This can do many things
such as inform them that you are indeed a real person at this address, to executing
a virus. THis is why we have virus detection.
I recommend that you have one or more addresses that you only use for family and
work. IN those you delete ANYTHING that comes for other than known sources. Then
you can have some open addresses that you might be a little more adventurous in your
usage. I have a couple that I use for any sites that demand such in order to use
them. Don't get too carried away, because you don't want to be checking mail ALL
DAY LONG.
