    I believe you visit here... but your mailing list has gone haywire... It is spamming like crazy. And since people seem to think replying to a mailing list to complain about spamming is a sensical thing to do, it only makes things worse.

    Yeah I was about to post the same thing. I wonder if this is deliberate because I am receiving people's replies as if the spam was sent by my email. Everyone avoid add-link.info to prevent getting spammed.

    Guys,

    It was a malfunction in the mailing list system. It appears that an alert was sent in error by the system globally (i.e. to all recipients) and as such it meant that replying to that alert would go to all emails on the mailing list.

    Obviously it was the people that kept replying that caused the problem to get as bad as it did. If people didn't respond, there would've been no issue.

    Live and learn.
