Default Email Spam from DPS
Hi, apologies if this isn't the right place to put this.

I registered with DPS a few months back and subscribed to their weekly newsletter and yesterday, I started getting email spam. I know it originated from the DPS email database as I use a unique email address for each forum that I register on and have only recieved spam from said email account.

Has anyone else been spammed recently? Any assistance on how to get to the bottom of this would be much appreciated. I've already sent a query using the "contact us" link, but doubtfull anyone would respond to these kind of queries.

Thanks

A bot must have picked up your email address.

I’ve never gotten spam from DPS.

I agree with Lumico...you got bot attacked. I don't think DPS would be at fault.

No spam here.

What is the spam you've been gettting?

The only DPS mail I get is from Darren who sends out his regular newsletter. I hope you aren't calling this spam.

Cheers
