I get spam since early April to email address used at Renderosity only. I made a complaint to Stacey 1st of May and have exchanged a few emails since then. I changed the email address used here very recently and spams started again the 3rd day after it was changed. It looks to me that somebody is harvesting all new emails and email changes thus members with very old emails perhaps escape? I have sent Stacey copies of headers of some of those spam emails and they come from many fictive addresses - not from Renderosity.
I use dedicated addresses for Daz and other 3D places also and do not get any spam for those. I have other generic addresses that I use when filling up forms on the Internet and those of course get plenty of stuff and I do not take such emails to Outlook directly. What is interesting also that spams coming to my Renderosity address are all 'Nigerian scam' type scams while what I get to other addresses are a mix of ads, scams, phishing, etc. Since I am merchant here, I am annoyed that I can't take emails concerning my business any more to Outlook but have to 'clean' them first using other software.
