An email in my personal email...from this board?

[sherilynn 1]

Hey all,

I got an email yesterday, from a woman in the UK - to my personal email address. She says she's from this board. Wanted to advise me directly that she had a problem with her port coming detached.

I just NEVER got a personal email from anyone here - on my home email address. All messages come through LBT.

What gives?

Is there a setting that I can have taken off?

I havent had anything like that either. I had private messages on this board but not to my home e-mail....except the ones from the board telling me someone replied to a message.

Uncheck the box that says allow others to email you.

Sherilyn:

I email people all the time (2-3x per week) with a personal email that is a "touchy" subject matter.

And I have gotten personal private emails as well.

Hmmmm do you know that person who emailed you? If not I am thinking probably some spam using this forum somehow to do spam broadcasts. (I hate spammers)

See the above message on how to remove the option to allow people to email you. As I recall the sender can not see your email but can send you an email through this system.

I think that's correct. If you reply to the email then they will obviously have your email address.
