I just recently created a new email account that I set up for my personal use. This email account has not been given out, not had anything subscribed to it, and has not been used in any way, shape, or form. It has just been created. I check my email today and I get about 15 emails from different gay or homosexual sites saying that I have subscribed to their lists. I know that this is not possible, for many reasons.

What seems to be going on here? Could there be some way that someone is spidering emails from the server or something? My new email account has not been published at all!

Now I am being emailed the following errors:

Now, I have removed my email username with ***.***. I have some questions about this:

1) Why is it saying that I initiated the email?
2) I certainly do not want to to retry 30 times spaced 4 hours apart, how can I stop it?
3) Why are these suddenly being sent to an email I just created and have never given out?

I just received 2 of these in the same minute, just seconds apart.

Did you create ***.***@thejokes.net mailbox?
If you did. Did you send any mail from this account?

Yes, I created the email account, and no, I have not sent any email from the account yet. I had just created it, so I found it odd getting email to it.

Something strange.
Would you mind to open a trouble ticket at http://support.hostony.com
and we'll try to solve this problem.
