Not necessarily. There's many spam and/or virus generators out there 
that send to thousands, if not millions of random prefixes to common 
ISPs, in the expectation that a handful will be valid.

Thunderbird email prog is very efficient at catching junk mail. AVG is 
good, free, virus protection, Sygate personal firewall closes lots of 
holes. Some ISPs offer spam filtering at source on your mailbox.

Switch to Linux or Mac, use Thunderbird, and it all goes away.
