Scott, this morning emails to your address listed at E-C.net are being bounced with the warning "mailbox full".

I've noticed that too for a few weeks now.
Moderator Notifications bounced back too.

Thanks guys.

I'll contact SBC and see what da heck is going on.

Before calling SBC, went to the E-Mail management area to see what might be sitting on the server.
Sure enough, >100 messages of 100KB and larger sitting there!
They were from that latest pain in the butt WORM that has been clogging up everyone's E-Mail servers.
The subjects were the typical "Re: That Movie" and similar.

Deleted all the baloney lingering around in the mailbox, called the E-Mail Robot some eight digit words [Linked Image]
(Binary swear words.....1001101 111010 10011 1110 1100001 and so forth), then logged out.

Sure enough - about 10 seconds later - get the New Mail "Chime", and filtered to the ECN / Moderator Reports folder for the first time in weeks... a Moderator report!!!

Yahoo!!! [Linked Image]

The report was to the above reply I made earlier.

Mail is once again flowing in at an alarming rate!

Scott,
I received your e-mail as well, but my replies were also being bounced with mailbox full.

I've not had anything sent falsely under your name though, as you suspected might have happened.

Bjarney,
Just tried to send you an e-mail, it came back with a mailbox full message?. [Linked Image]
