Quote -    1) An E-Mail left Renderosity to you.

 

 2) Contained in that e-mail header,...was your e-mail address.(otherwise...how would it get to you?)

 

 3) Once it left Rosity's E-mails servers,...it is out of thier control which path that e-     mail/bot takes to get to you.

 

 4) Along that path...is a router.

 

 5) Someone with access to that router, is harvesting e-mail addresses from the e-mail headers.

 

 6) That someone collects all of these (Good) E-mail addresses.

 

 7) That someone compiles a CD of (Good) E-mail addresses.

 

 8) That someone sells that CD to the Spammer.

 

 9) Your E-mail address is on that CD

It's really pretty simple...it's not rocket science

My my, they do get their CD's sent out to spammers BLOODY QUICK - last time I changed my email address (3rd or 4th time) I got spam to it within hours.

Get off your high horse and leave this to the people that know what they're talking about please.
