SGL.

I had a spammer do this too.. same spammer.. buddist website. I reported them to all the free sites but only one of the free sites removed them.. I contacted the server hosts that hosts the ip. They gave me that not our ip crap... when whois says it is.

The spammer sent out 1800 pms. I have my pms set to max 20 at a time. They are obviously using software to auto send them.. I doubt anyone would send 20 out at a time.. and do it in a mater of hours. Possibly minutes. I still have no clue how they did it.
