Also got a spam. Just in case anyone wasn't sure, the email that the spam came to was one I generated ONLY for my Audiograbber purchase, so it came from the Audiograbber list.Very annoying. Hope that the culprits are tracked down and someone does something very unpleasant to them. Tim

Here's the header from mine. It was sent from the same place, and almost the same time. It appears that they sent them at once from a long list. Not only does their software suck, but they do too.  Jackie,
Do they know that 1.82 is being released tomorrow? Is there any chance that they confused the mailing. If not, I'd sue them. We Americans sue everybody.  From: <grab@el5.net>

Yes, all of the e-mail headers show consistent info about domain and host addresses; they all point to element5.com, and do match their own DNS entries.Either someone took a lot of care in forging this spam, or it's genuinely coming from Element5. Corrado

Just want to inform you that the german forum is full of these claims and that I have to type excuses 'til my fingers bleed.
I wrote a very angry mail to element5. We'll see what they're saying about this!Grrr...

It is confirmed that the mail was sent to AG's customers via Element5's servers. Apparantly someone hacked into their server and got access to their mailingsystem. They are looking into it and will return with a formal explaination of the event.------------------

From: element 5Hi, we would like to clarify what has happened here:
- Jackie Franck / Audiograbber has in no way been involved in sending this newsletter, or authorized it in any way.
- We as element 5 have _not_ endorsed or sent this newsletter either. We strongly condemn spam and have no interest in it whatsoever. Software publishers can send mails to their registered customers through our newsletter tool. All software publishers using our newsletter tools are made aware of the fact that they must only mail to their customers who have agreed to receive information, and can be fined for abuse.
- The fact that you still received the above mailing seems to have been due to a combination of abuse of our systems and a technical problem on our side which could appear under certain circumstances. We sincerely apologize for this problem and have immediately fixed it after we became aware of it. You will not receive any future mailings such as the one you received. We will also take measures to track down the person abusing our system. Best regards
Christopher Reimold / element 5 AG

This is without a doubt coming from Element5 and it is not the first time that they have done this. I received this message to a Disposable Email Address (http://www.spamex.com) that was only used to make my audiograbber purchase through Element5. They are the only one's who have this email address. I also received email from them in May of 2001 advertising their products and when I complained I was told that I must have 'Opted in' to receive their mailings when I purchased Audio-Grabber.I notified Jackie of this at the time but there did not seem to be much concers and element 5's excuse was accepted at face value. Oh well. Regards,
Justin

Ok, someone with login codes for Poikosoft logged in to Element5's computer and somehow managed to change some parameters and that way was able to send out a newsletter to Audiograbber users.
A bug in Element5's system but it has been fixed now so this will not happen again.The person from Poikosoft was never able to receive the e-mail addresses that this e-mail was sent to so it is not so much damage. That newsletter is not the same as I use myself, I use the one which you have to sign up for on my main page. (Hopefully no one will be able to hack his way into that one  ) This matter is now settled and I have no hard feelings for Element5 which was very helpful and polite.
