The hostname and domain name are completely wrong:
anther.webhostingtotalk.com
anther = The name of the server is panther1 and panther2
and
webhosting'to'talk.com

oops.. sorry.. i still think someone is scanning here for emails.. anyone else get this email? also is there a method for spammers to say "scan" a forum and get all "words" with a "@" in it such as email addresses?

I've never got any spam through PM or email although i don't advertise my email address.

Yep that is what several spammers do they have robots that crawl the web looking for the @ symbol then extract the email address and add it to their database. That is the reason you see some people posting in forums use the / symbol instead with a note to replace it with the @.
