One of the fresh box experiments is stil ongoing and so far no spam has entered their email account. Its a slow process as they are turning things on one at a time then waiting for a time period before turning something else on. So far nothing, nothing new to report.

As I posted (I think it was in this thread??) we need spam that comes in right behind say a newsletter ebot the minute you get it with the header information. The techs do have some ideas in mind but its a matter of narrowing it down which is why we need the header info on a spam forwarded the second it comes in.. 

I have set up about 10 test accounts myself over the last few months from different email providers all with different settings as far as subscribing to different types of ebots on here and all having different activity like forum posting, gallery uploads, purchases, etc.. also all with crazy usernames@ and so far I have not gotten one spam on any of the 10 accounts. Some other admins did the same thing and they as well haven't gotten any spam.

We are working on this and we do take it seriously but spammers are very resourceful and its hard to pin down what is happening. We did turn off the email feature here to help this situation out as well.

I'm only making replies regarding the spam issue in this long thread that has the most information, this is why we ask that you don't start multiple threads with the same topic because information gets too scattered when its all over the place in different threads.
