Oh Eric, I am very sadden along with you about this situation. I too understand what you are going through. As I run a computer graphic's business [which also includes creating web site], I was also hit by a spider, who took it upon itself to send me all sorts of nasty emails via two of the accounts I run. One account was for hunting dogs and I was getting hit with over 50 porn site emails a day. I wanted to write back - The dogs are fixed and have no need for viagra, do not care if woman are nude nor easy, and sure to not need a cyber date :( . I have shut down the email from three of the sites, and applied the following tip from another: As to posting your internet address - Actually type the whole address out rather then put it into an html code. Those who really wish to contact you will be willing to cut and paste rather then click on the email address and have an email window pop up. After closing down one ISP and opening my site with another AND using the new method for posting my email address, I have been virtually spam free. Also, you might want to contact Renderosity, or bondware. I know that they both host web pages, and they have an outstanding anti-spam program! Send Tim an IM with a link to this thread, he does an amazing job of keeping the spammers at bay on Renderosity. Plus you may still be able to use your same name. Sigh, I know how frustrating this can be, and if there is anything I can do to help you please let me know. Sincerely, ladynimue
