Spam from surpasshosting?

onceuponacake · July 4th, 2008, 7:28 PM

I've rec'd over 200 emails with the sh108surpasshosting.com ending.

usually if a person fills out the form on my site (Which I have now removed thinking it was through the form) i will receive an email with FROM being Sandy

sh108surpasshosting.com or whatever first name they put in. I've rec'd nonsense ones like tvlsldklvws

sh108surpasshosting.com I removed the form but am still getting them.

Any ideas?

Do you have a catch-all email address set up on your account?

not sure what that is. i only started having this problem this week.

This setting is found in cPanel by clicking on the Mail icon, and then clicking on Default Email Address. If this is set to your email address, you have set a catch-all address.
