Sounds as if you upset someone who added you to every mailing list in existence! Bit annoying when that happens, hope you get it sorted soon!

looks like my email address was harvested from someplace. I have been telling my email filter to label them all as spam. It's been working pretty good but a few dozen still get through every hour. was a thousand an hour on Friday.... so at least the filter is working... they got my email address right but they got my name wrong. keep getting "Thank you for joining XXX James (I am not James) in so far 9 different languages. ( English, German, French, Japanese (Katakana), Italian, Spanish, Russian, Farsi, Chinese (not sure which dialect). might have been more but I didn't start keeping track of the languages until Friday night.
