    Hi, I've just received what I believe is spam email entitled "Hey there, it's email4m from digital point" and later "Greetings member of Digital Point forum"

    I can't believe for one moment that it is but it pisses me off that some maggot at DP has taken my email address and is sending me this crap.

    The return email address is .

    Maggots!

    i guess someone collected all of ours email ids, perhaps that's the reason why i get a lot of these emails, but then after all it's our fault, we have posted our email ids here:eek:

    You can disable the option to contact via email in your userCP.

    if you disable the 'download vcard' setting from your usercp then your email address won't be visible to anyone...

    they could still send you emails via 'send member email' via DP if they want (but you can disable that too)...

    if you disable the vcard, it will mask your email as (or something similar)...still won't totally save you from spam...but it keeps people from getting your real address without asking.

    I received it too. I am pissed about it:) However it landed in the spam box in gmail. I think this cames through "enable others to send email" option in the user CP.
