I opt-out everywhere I go.
The email address I use here is one that gets used for such things.
My REAL email address...doesn't get used.
I have email addresses I use for different purposes.
For example, I'm working on my master's degree and have an email address that ONLY the college has. It's been ok for over 3 years now with them and NEVER have I received anything on it except from the school.
I have another I give to parents - since I teach in a public school.
Needless to say, I have I can use in places and monitor the usages.
I'll see what happened here. Maybe I missed something and didn't opt-out as I thought I had.
Fortunately, the spams only ATTEMPT to get in. The one thing I noticed was that my server was connected to by a sub domain that doesn't exist. This is a common tactic from spammers.
The HD forums are sharing a hosting service somewhere so any malicious hosts will affect all hosts on that network.

I've been the Admin here for almost 3 years and this is the first time I've gotten this complaint. I've reported it to my bosses for review. You guys can pm me if you continue to have problems.

no spam here.... I'd suggest you check your settings, and NOT subscribe to any threads, or topics/forum... when I first joined, I got a lot of mail... but then I read the forum USER CP a little closer.... most likely that's where your glitch is
