Guest guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I went through the message board and banned any new messages from 2 email addresses that seemed to be the brunt of the spam. Both were former active members. One was a very active member. I think there email addresses were attacked by a virus or Trojan Horse that turns your email program into a spam machine. Both are now blocked and can re-apply after they do a thorough virus scan of their machines and or also get a new email address. Hopefully this will severely cut down on the spam. Thanks for your understanding. I'm sorry this happened. I get email directly and my email program scans for spam, so I wasn't seeing them as much as you all were.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Your right dave. someone latches on to other peoples emails. At one group i belong too, the people came on and posted that they didnt send the spam. It wasnt them. Then i think people see it and get scared off to post. I look and see all that spam and say to myself, better not post right now or they will get me next!
