Quite self-explanatory really.

All of us have the option in our Control Panel to receive or decline e-mails from other members.

Some choose not to receive e-mails and that's what's happened to you when you attempted to send one.

It's the same with Private Messages as well, we all have a choice whether to receive them or not.

Yep, both are correct - Members can disable e-mail contact features, but it has also been disabled globally as people were using it for spam. PM's are the best way to contact people on-site :)

LoL ... you obviously don't receive much "spam" in your mailbox.

Computer programs, even legit ones, can harvest information ... how do you think Google works. ;)

We call them "spiders" for obvious reasons. An email spider that visits a website forum with one purpose in mind: collect as many email addresses as possible so the owner can spam you with email later.

Where do you want me to start?

look at these:

"Hollis " <[email protected]> Add to Address Book To:.com Subject: Pharmacy & Natural weight loss worldwide 00911 Date: Tue, 19 Jan 38 03:14:07 GMT H-e-l-l-o!

We are presenting you international p-h-a-r-m-a-c-y network called

You'll be surprised with their "low prices" and 's/h/i/p/p/i/n/g
