Hello there.

I've recieved a couple of spam emails lately that show anther.webhostingtalk.com in the headers. I was just wondering if anyone has had this happening to them or is it just me? Maybe someone is abusing the mail function on the board? In my profile I have it set so only admins and mods can see my email address.

Any ideas guys?

Nope.

Some lame spammer decided to spoof the headers but he's so stupid he couldn't get it right.

anther.webhostingtalk.com isnt even a resolving hostname, its is actually panther, guess he missed the 'p' off, and the IP address is incorrect.

Most of the headers in them e-mails are forged. There is very little we can do about it. Its been happening for months.
