I have several EMail accounts. The one that I use here is my most private. I NEVER use it on commercial sites. Since about a week after the "event" with the spoof PayPal problem, I have been getting some pretty raunchy porn emails. I suspect our Brazillain friends sold the EMail list. Has this been happening to anyone else?

Not me. I looked into my spamblocer folder and it all looks very normal. Lots of offers for Viagra and cheap software. All very ordinary around here.

OK, thanks, I guess it got harvested somewhere else, but for the life of me, I cant imagine where.

The E-mail I use for here is surpirsingly porn and real estate free?

Odd considering I've used the address for a number of things.

No porn here - seems that even the professionals don't like me. :)

Nothing, but then again I killed the old email address and created a new one once the server was running again.

Since "the event" I have started getting occasional spam emails through on the account I use for here. Since I only use that account for here, I guess it's a result of the address being sold on. I never used to receive any before "the event".

The login mail addresses you used when phpbb was hacked it is likely that those emails are on some spam lists. There is not much one can do about it.

This server has been and is secure.
