I got hit too. I ended up just blocking all email to that name for now. Is there a better solution?

After reading this thread, I checked out my hotmail address and found that I got hit, too. Thankfully, though, since it’s a list, all of 'em went into my junk mail folder. As long as it goes there, spam away, I delete everything in that folder without looking anyway.

Still pisses me off, though.

I’m a Doper who was lost in the hack (My posts, my beautiful posts, _sob_)

When the SDMB came back I had to re-register and used a new email addie. My new address hasn’t got any mail.

After reading what some have said in this thread, I thought I’d check the old address. Yep, been hit.

Looks like however hacked the board is now on stage 2 of their ‘Piss off the SDMB’ campaign. :mad:

This is being discussed in ATMB, so I’ll close this thread and refer everyone to [Is anyone getting weird mail at their SDMB e-mail?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=111995)
