I just got got a sequence of 5 duplicate emails from Facebook each with the same stats on our church Fb page. If everyone is getting weird stuff it may have started with Facebook.

But they were asking for my address to unsubscribe me.  Then the porn started.  I'm now getting twice as many even tho I mark them as junk or say block the sender.     Any advice?

I have to look through a big list of spam for those aforementioned attempts at posting from you folks before sending the spam messages off to oblivion.

But this means if you attempt to post from the wrong email, it simply won't work and I will not be alerted and will not be able to rescue you as I have been doing for lo these many years.
