Security problem?

How are Group "managers" getting access to personal email addresses of folders to be able to send recruitment emails?

There is no way that information should be released to ANYONE!

The server did not send me an email.

The recruitment email came directly from the group manager's hotmail account. There was no PM, it wasn't an email notification of a PM, and I can assure you I did not request to join this group.

I will forward the original email to any administrator of this project that cares to see it.

Hi Angus,

Please forward the mail to admin at fold dot it. It may have just been the server, but setting the From address to the group manager. However, I don't know, so please forward me the email.

So it was actually the team captain that had their EMail address disclosed to Angus… not the other way around.

it's a privacy violation to reveal email addresses.
