Just days after I signed up for a premium account, my email addy was somehow stolen and is used to send spam to a zillion people. I get returned mail every day from it even though I have NEVER used this yet. I got this today that may or may not be from you guys. Sorry but anything with an attachment I DO NOT trust.

Dear user mistresskat@allakhazam.com,

Your e-mail account has been used to send a large amount of spam messages during this week.
Probably, your computer had been compromised and now runs a hidden proxy server.

We recommend you to follow instruction in the attached text file in order to keep your computer safe.

Sincerely yours,
The allakhazam.com team.

So someone on this board has so nicely been using this email to attack others. I do not want this email and I don't wan any of my email made public. Please delete my email from here as I do not want it since it's only trouble. Signing up for premium has come at a price for me.

that particular email is a virus, which writes itself specifically to the domain it's sending to.

Under your user page, where it says publisize email, select no.

that stops the forewarding, which is not enabled by default.
