Default E-mail address harvesting?

I don't know if anyone else here is noticing this but I'm getting an increase in junk mail and it is because someone is harvesting this site. I assume this because some of the cc'd addresses and spoofing header-filler in a few of the e-mails have "S2K"-related names. This is the only S2K-site I visit or use.

I don't get any junk mail in my yahoo.com email so I can't agree with your assumptions.

I've been on this website for over a year, I have not reveiced a single junk email that had anything to do with S2ki.com.

Maybe you were talking to site members via email and somehow your email got "out"?

It's important that you don't post your phone number, email address or other personal data so that it can't be mined. Anyone registered can send you an email by clicking the profile button and clicking the link. They can do this without knowing your email address.

Been here for a long time, never have gotten junk mail from the address that s2ki has.
