    Im not too sure if im posting in the right place but hopefully someone can help me!!

    I am recieving 5/6 Spam emails a day from different companies but they are all using the same mailing list which they obviously bought from www.yourbizz.com.

    I have contacted yourbizz.com but (surprise surprise) no reply!

    Is it too late to stop these wan**rs emailing me since they have obviously sold my address to alot of different companies?


    Thanks
    :confused:

    It's too late I'm afraid Eurofficial. Once your address is out there, that's it, particularly if the company responsible is outside the EU. The simplest solution, if you're in a position to do it, is to redirect the tainted address to another account, and use a new one for regular email. I change my address in this way about every quarter. :)

    The thing is...I cant tell what email address its it being sent to! It just says in the header that its sent to marketingpros@mailing.yourbizz.com

    When giving out my email address online I usually use the address nospam@eurofficial.com and then setup an auto responder thanking them for their spam but telling them where to to stick it!

    I reckon this company harvested my email address from my site!

    Can you post the full headers here eurofficial? Or PM them to me? There should be /some/ clue in there.
