I am curious. I have been getting email with profanity in it from a website called www.michaelmoore.com and am wondering if I have to continue to just accept this email or do I have options to try and get this profanity stopped?

The profanity is essentially 'F-you A-hole', but I have edited it for the forum.

I am receiving the email on my www.republicans.cc black hole. This is a site that I do not advertise and do not update. It is basically just for sale.

Thank you for any help or advice you can provide.

Your website makes a political statement...not just for sale as you have mentioned...that may be the reason they (who ever they are) targeted you.

Yes, it does make a political statement, but I am not advertising the site to anyone nor do I force anyone to look at the contents. I am not even sure how someone FOUND the site to be honest, lol.

However, regardless of the reason, I still thought it was against the law for someone to send, unsolicited, profanity laced email to me.

Thank you for all of the suggestions so far. I guess if I am going to be a webmaster and develop sites, I just need to get used to people sending these types of email to me. Although, I was hoping it wouldn't start until I actually DEVELOPED something, lol.

Thanks again! :)

The originator is no doubt spoofing michaelmoore.com - happens all the time.
