AGain this is a reminder that if you use a fake email address make sure you have email confirmations OFF in your personal settings.

Failure to do so causes many MANY returned emails to GStwin's email address ans we don't like that.

Failure to fix your settings may cause a custom avatar that is very unflattering.  

Thanks

John,
This might be spoofing? It happens constantly with my girl's domain and website. Lots of returned email from senders who do not exist, but with her domain/ host name.com. Spammers use it alot.

Wrong.  I have been going into people's profiles and deselecting email comfirmations but I'm tired of it so now I will put up the email addresses people gave and let them do it.

I have no problem with using a fake email address to sign up but make sure all email confirmations for replies and PM's are OFF.

No, let me be CLEAR These emails are returned from email that these people chose to get.  You can have this forum send you an email if you get a PM or reply to your messages.

This is not virus type stuff, these returned emails are actually sent from this board.
