e-mail

[Irishlad74]

Hi,

Excuse my ignorance on the subject!

has any one individual or organisation got the capability to send an e-mail to every e-mail address in the world.

Governments apparently scann all e-mail traffic for certain words, does this mean that in theory they could compile a list of all e-mail addresses.

Cheers

Yep, think so, but the vast majority of stuff they scan isn't what they're looking for. I've heard it's patterns, codes, etc., particularly from suspect addys or people.
