Is This an official DP E-Mail?

Just gotten an email from nobody@dp and wondered if it was official?
"I have been observing the Co-op ad network for last 1 year. Now I have decided to launch the network similar to co-op one but with better weights and more acuuracy. etc etc"

Just wondering whats happening?

(I am the guard dog after all )

 

You beat me to it by a minute! just got three such emails

 

I have all of you beat ... I've received 15 of them. And it's starting to tick me off.

 

I don't think so , someone might be joking. I have not received any such mail.

 

I got 3 at first and have just got another 3

 

I think if you receive such mail, Just Ignore it.

 

I have also received 3 of these e-mails.

 

got 3 also

this was in the header:

Code (markup):

dunno what's going on but I doubt Shawn would let some one spam us.

 

I think this mail is not from digitalpoint.com

 

Got it too. Came here to see if anyone else knew what was up with it.

 

That is the lame email I keep getting.

 

This is definately not an official DP email. Someone is just harvesting your email addresses from your forum profile.

The registrar for the domain is India.

 

This sort of tactic certainly makes me NOT want to use their network.

 

I don't see how.Go to my profile and try to send me an email.......you can't. If this is not official I would like to know where they got my addy from.It could mean a totally spam free addy gone to waste.

 

Yep, got a few... The headers are not forged, its being sent via DP from the "email this subscriber" link. However, I doubt he is doing this manually. It's probably a bot that is doing all the work.

 

Don't know if it's from DP & if it isn't then I am cautious to use it.

This person knew something about it.

 

All you have to do is register and you have access to the E-Mail address of every member that has it set to leting other members E-mail you, even though one easy solution to make less SPAM be generated is making a form show up instead of the actual E-Mail address.

 

Actually you will want a form with a good CATCHPA. The bots can still get past the form.

 

Only thing is that "Receive Email from Other Members" isn't checked in my options
