Whenever I post a topic on these forums and somebody answers, these answers are forewarded to my email (proz.bounce handler). However, I do not get the answers from other members or job-offers , but spam directed to another email address??
Can somebody explain this and how do you remedy this? I already missed a few job offers due to this spamming.

Spoofing Feb 3, 2004

Hi again,
First of all, may I ask you to edit the post by removing all e-mail addresses and URLs, since this is only going to produce further spam.

It very much looks like a "spoofed" message, where the sender uses falsified information in order to circumvent spam filters. For instance, I often get messages showing one of my e-mail addresses as the sender (the thinking behind being that one would never filter one's own addresses...).

I will contact you through you

I will contact you through your profile - to find out if anything can be done, I will need the message including the IP headers. I will forward this to ProZ.com staff for further investigation.
