Rossman, listing your email address in your profile has nothing to do with it. It is the recent worms, etc.

Ah ok I didn't know he was referring to the worm.

Yeah that worm is a major PITA.

YOU, probably, don't have the worm. Someone else does, with your email address AND the moderator's address.

Yeah. 😕

I don't see what the problem is. The email has nothing to do with anandtech, it was just also sent to moderator@anandtech.com .. twice, actually.

Huh?

It doesen't have anything to do with anandtech. You would've gotten the email even if you had never heard of anandtech.

IIRC the previous issues with spamming emails was strictly through profiles wasn't it?

Really, then tell me where they got my PRIVATE E-mail from?? And another person has already said they got the SAME e-mail to their address from anandtech.

So, no one ANYWHERE has this address? No friends, nothing? You've never emailed anybody from that address or had email sent to that address?
 
You want a weird spam/email/virus story???

I recently got a whole round of Re: emails from random people saying "Symantec Anti-Virus blocked your email" or "This message contains a virus and cannot be delivered" etc...all of the messages referring to SoBig.F...which has never infected any of my systems.

The email address they're coming from is my old school account, which has since been disabled (I graduated) and now merely forwards mail to another address (I can receive email through it, but can't send.) So someone is spoofing my old email addy and sending viruses...or one of my friends got infected and still has my old email in their address book?
