Urgh, so annoying when this happens.
I have an email account just for site subscriptions because of sites like this. When I'm a member of a site I just flag/star the confirmation email so it stays up the top, then I don't have to sift through the junk emails.

Maybe because I just had a long, hard day at work, but I think you've misunderstood the reason I made this comment.
I don't want to save the emails or make them easier to find. I'm wondering why I'm suddenly getting emails with the sender name of girlsoutwest.com that, when opened, have links with random site URLs at the end of which are my email address and full name. That reeks of my info having been sold after a recent cancellation of my membership to the site.

I have the same problem with an other site. I don't think they sell my address (hope so), but maybe the registration page is not safe. Maybe a third person can track/read the given personal informations (a cookie or something like that).

I know, I think you mis-understood what I said :)
I mean that I have a separate email account for using to join websites. That way, when I do inevitably get lots of spam (which I do...), it doesn't matter because the only important emails I'd get to that account are the membership confirmations which are the ones you can flag/star.
That way, apart from the principle of it, I don't really care I get spam because I never check that email account anyway.

I have also an E-Mail account for that and I don't care about spam, but in this case I wonder where the spammers get my real name and the E-Mail address. I don't believe GOW or GGG (in my case) sells E-Mail addresses and the real names of customers to spammers.

Easy way to beat porn spam especially if you use webmail.
1. Never use your main email for subscription of porn services, it happen to me plenty of times when my subscription ends I get increase of spam.
2. Use an email account that allows use of alias, I only use alias to join sites when subscription ends I delete that alias.
3. Set rules to sent emails from certain alias to a new folder if the email service allows you to create custom folder that. So you can always just delete everything from that folder.
