I'm sure you don't sell them so I think someone is getting into your database.
I will creat a few more accounts and see if this keeps happening. It doesn't happen on all my email adresses, just a couple. But is what gets me is that I never used those accounts yet.
Pisses me off that people have to spam, i never buy anything from people that do that, and if everyone would do the same spam would be useless. If noone ever responded to spam people wouldn't spam, it would be useless, so some idiots out there must be buying stuff from these spammers.
I don't need a response from you, this is just something to look into for now. I'll see if it gets worse.

As i stated, I've never used these addresses.
The address I used for this forum, and all other forums, is not one of the addresses i'm getting spam from.
As I stated, I've never put these addresses on a web page, never gave them to anyone, just made them for future use. There is no way anyone could ever get these addresses that are getting spamed, yet they got it |
Sometimes spam is sent to whatevertheywant @yourdomain.com, they just use standard names. If you didn't posted it anywhere, and you don't use it on our forums, then my first reply can be taken as not helpful.
