Is anyone else having this issue? Since the upgrade I've been getting tons of Tek-Tips emails of forum messages for cryptocurrencies, unlocking a ransom encrypted hard drive, and as of yesterday, escort services. Here is an example from my inbox:

The email's sent from address matches legitimate alerts from Tek-Tips, and the message body appears to be authentic coming from Tek-Tips . The email id I use is only for this forum. Left a message for the moderator and am waiting a reply.

They are probably spam posts in forums you are watching. i had to use the unsubscribe option on the bottom of one of the emails to stop all the emails every time someone posted or commented in a forum.
 
Yeah... I know management is working on better spam filtering... and I delete several posts a day.
