I Received A Very Unusual Email From overunity.com
I received it at my Gmail address
The reason the email is very unusual is because it was :
*****@*****.***<harti@harti.com>
( I use the asterisks to censor the private email-address
For example, john.backerwww@gmail.com<harti@harti.com>
I have used my own email address for that example )
I have 'censored' any details that could identify the member mentioned in the email details .
It is definitely not any sort of private-message sent from another member on overunity.com via overunity.com, I have checked various times and ruled that possibility out.
( And I can compare the details to private-messages I have received in the past from other members via overunity.com )
And the "Reply-To:" in my Gmail is set to the private email-address I have censored .
The image below is of the email
- I have put 'long-rectangular-blocks' to cover up( censor ) the :
- Email Subject Heading-text( which happens to be the name of the topic in the link in the message section of the email, a new topic started by the member whose identity I have censored )
- The private-email-address of the member whose identity I have censored ,
- The topic name / number
I sent harti@harti.com an email inquiring about the email they sent, but got no reply.
I won't be sending an email to the censored email-address in the email, since they most likely are not aware that their email-address is included in the email from harti@harti.com
If the member 'had actually' of sent me an email, and directly via their private email-address, or as a private-message via overunity.com, I could have replied, but it seems that the censored member did not send me any message at all, it seems to have come from site-administration
The email only contains a link to a new topic( at overunity.com ) started by the member whose identity I have censored .
[ In a related subject - Its a shame Gmail cancelled their monthly Account-Activity-Reports through which you could see exactly how many emails you received in any month and compare that number to the ones in your inbox, if you suspected that people are deleting emails from your inbox.
Because in my Gmail-Account-Activity page which only shows my 'Account-Logins' and from which 'IP-Addresses', I always receive the message "Sign Out Of Other Sessions" , even though it has no reason to display that message.
I change my passwords etc( and have no security-questions etc ), but the "Sign Out Of Other Sessions" reappears each time I login for no apparent reason ]

Maybe "they" (aliens) sent you the email so you'd come here and change the world... maybe you're "the one". ;)
Stephen is the Admin here and his last name is Hartmann but he uses the nickname Harti so I'm sure that came from Stephen who runs this web site and forum. I think he occasionally sends things out to your registered email or maybe he picked up your email elsewhere - he makes money from this site to keep the forum going. Look at www.harti.com and you will see Stephen Hartmann on the page along with reference to his website www.overunity.com. Nothing unusual.

QuoteThe email came from the admin account,, that is how SMF works for me anyway,,
You have enabled E-mail in your profile,, I assume that is what happened,, someone clicked on the E-mail and not the PM
webby1 is completely correct, and today I received an email from webby1( via the <harti@harti.com> email-address ) in the format of 'webby1's-external-email-address<harti@harti.com>' which is the same format in which I received the email that I started this topic about.
And now I can vaguely remember enabling that option
my apologies etc
Hmm, I have not sent out any emails for about 3 months or so...
so what link was in this email ?
Maybe some other user has sent your this email via the private email function ??
Please let me know.
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan. ( admin)
