Quote - @Acadia, et al:  As usual with several woe-is-me-rendo-sucks topics, you're way out of line.  You have no compelling or confirming proof whatsoever that Rendo is selling addresses or is the direct cause of spam received in your in-box either by Rendo mail server modification or by unauthorized internal selling of addresses.  Bashing, laying and throwing blame at Rendo will not solve the obviously not-working method you use to keep your personal e-mail account as spam free as possible.

By the way, I love how I was singled out with "et al". I didn't start this thread, I was the second to reply.    However, when I have used 2 long term email address (one about 6 years old and the other about 3 years old)  that have never been used on any website or received a single spam email in it until I used those email addresses here at Renderosity, and even to a brand new renderosity.com email address that I had when I was a co-ordinator and that I hadn't used anywhere else but here for renderosity business,  I would say that it's a pretty good chance that the spam is a result of having used it here.  Mail servers are only as secure as the company makes it.

I never said that Renderosity was the one spamming us. I said that it's a problem with their mail server since they did some tweak to increase mail volume sends, and that was told to me by Renderosity staff when I asked about why I was suddently getting spam emails to my then new renderosity.com address which I never used anywhere but here for renderosity business.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
