I've sent dozens of emails to Renderosity as per their request a page or two ago.

I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall with this. It's completely frustrating.

Some of the spam is being caught by gmail's filters while some isn't and is forwarded onto my outlook express address as I have directed gmaiil to do. 

All of the spam are phishing spam from Nigeria and "British" lotteries etc. Not your typical "Buy Viagra" spam.

What gmail has been catching is in the dozens per day! Dozens!!

But the point is that there shouldn't be any spam in that mail box at all for gmail to even have to filter. The only things that arrive in that box should be Renderosity related ebots such as notifications of wishlist items, news letters, purchase confirmations, gallery notifications and the like.

I really believe that Renderosity can't handle this on their own and need to bring in an independant contractor who knows what they are dealing with and how to fix the obvious leak where the mail servers are concerned.
