Why am I getting spam that is addressed to moderater@anandtech.com?

[kantonburg]

Could someone here look into this please. Why is it coming to me when the To: field is to an e-mail address here?

I got one too, advertising a download for a DVD copying software ... maybe they hacked the auto reply notification server here?

I have reported this to Anand and Zuni. I wish there was more we could do, but they are the ones who will have to deal with it. We received over 500 of these, today. :|

Got one too, however, it was from some randomized address, @hotmail.com.
Hopefully Zuni can find whoever did it; maybe the perpetrator(s) can be drug out into the street, and have monitors thrown on them from tall buildings.
Or else we could just use them for something slightly useful, like picking up trash by highways for a few years.
Wishful thinking I guess.🙂
Good luck in the search.

Why are you spamming yourself? 😉

Yep, I got one too. This is the only place I use that particular email address. Damn spammers!
