Just wondering if anyone else has gotten similar emails. The email I use on AT is ONLY used on AT and Heatware. I use it for trading, obviously.

I had my account signed up as well. I also only use this e-mail for here. I just figured someone didn't like me.

There is plenty of software that crawls the web looking for addresses. The best thing to do is display your address as something like,

name AT domain DOT com
OR
name@<REMOVE THIS PART>domain.com

We have no member with the address, loveme@foreveryou.co.uk. Please PM us the sender's IP address, and we will check it against our logs to see if we can determine the identity of the spammer.

To find the sender's IP address, set your email program to display the complete header. If you do not know which address in the header is the originating address, cut and paste the entire header in your message.

I was assuming someone was just signing us up for stuff, not a member sending spam. I think having the e-mail in the profile is excellent, and you also have a way to turn it off, which is also excellent.

Oh, and: /Me waves to the new Mod!
