I got the same thing but mine was sent to my spam folder, with a postmaster address. I also got a postmaster message saying the message was undeliverable because of a bad address, and it gave the correct gw info address. Seems something might be going on at the gw end, but I know they'll find out what's up and fix it. Hope the problem isn't on my end. Thanks much and best to all.

Hi, I got the same email this morning. Tony C From: RicksPlace Sent: Friday, August 17, 2012 4:56 AM To: GW Micro Product Discussion Listserv Subject: High Priority a questionable message from List Manager? I received this message from the GW list: It does not sound like something that you would send out and since I am a member of the list and received no e-mails from me I question what this is. Also, there appears to be the list address in place of my address in the exteranious clause after the words Dear User which indicates the user is the GW list server address possibly pulled from some type of crawler. Someone may be trying to spoof a message in your name. If it is from the GW staff please let me know and let me know if there is any action you want me to take. It indicates there is an attachment but none was forwarded with the message. <BeginQuestionableMessage> Dear user [email protected] , Your e-mail account was used to send a huge amount of unsolicited commercial e-mail during the last week.
