Request: Send a blank email to php-mirrors+get-11739@lists.php.net to get a copy of this message
Hello, I recently posted some comments on the documentation forum about installing PHP with Apache2. Since then, I started receiving spam to the e-mail account I used. I know 100% that it came as a result of my posting because I used an alias e-mail account php@jefflundberg.com. I have only used that account on the PHP forum. My guess is that some web-crawler type spider parsed out all e-mail addresses on the forum and added them to a junk mail distribution list. I would suggest hiding all e-mail addresses from your pages. If people wish to contact the person who made the post, a simple web-based e-mail form could be created that hides e-mail addresses. As far as the compromised e-mail address, I have to block it now. Thanks, Jeff Lundberg
