A Google search for your yadan.net email address yields almost 1000 hits. A search for your hcoop.net address yields zero. If spammers have really found or brute-forced your @hcoop.net address or your @yadan.net address, there's no reason for that I can see, certainly nothing being done wrong on our end. I get an inordinate amount of spam to my hcoop address myself, probably about 1/3 of it direct, 1/3 of it to my other addresses being forwarded, and 1/3 to other HCoop aliases that I receive mail on.
That being said, it is not unreasonable of us to require you to read @hcoop.net emails anyway. You can easily configure it to forward only emails from the @hcoop.net domain and delete or archive the rest. Spam is not an excuse for not reading email at all. -ntk _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.hcoop.net/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
