Spam Emails to your website email accounts?
I am making this thread because I'm currently recieving spam emails from multiple accounts selling replica watches, and sexual enhancing products. Is these made by bots because we have our email addresses pasted on our contact us page, or is it because people generally search websites looking for email addresses to spam with their product rightups?

Does anyone else have this problem?

It's really annoying, it's not even like you can block the emails, because their are literraly hundreds of accounts which they use!

Yeap me too. I had all my site emails set up to recieve any email sent to that domain. Oh! my that was a mistake. I quickly changed it so as to only use the actually address I want and the rest got to the blackhole

I currently get a few a day nothing major, but when I changed the settings I was getting nearly 100 to various addresses ie admin@domain webmaster@domain sales@domain and more for all my domains. It wasn't much fun going through them

I get them too.

Tip: If you're using cPanel for mail managment, try enabling BoxTrapper. It means that all of the spam goes there rather than being delivered to your e-mail software. People contacting you will get a message asking them to verify their humanity.
