Is that an email address Fyron uses? Probably someone that has both of you in their email list caught a bug.

[DeadZone]

Yea, thats his

But people do have to ability to put whatever email address they want(able to manuelly alter the "From" and "Reply-To" field), so in affect, they could put his address to make it appear from him, while its not

looks like someone is sending you a bagel

[Captain Kwok]

Although it should be noted that is not one of Fyron's active e-mail addresses.

[Fyron]

I only use that email address as a spam collector these days...

[PvK]

Ya, I mainly thought it was amusing.

Perhaps the Kazz are moving on the World and you are the first target http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/stupid.gif

No, no, this is clearly an attempt to feed you a bagel made of spam, to force you to hate bagels, crash the world bagel economy and allow someone to take over the world. Clearly, someone is horning in on my territory and will have to be squashed like a bug.

Good thing I have a good bagel shop next to my office...

I get regular virus emails from Atrocities(AT)ast mod(DOT)com all the time.

The virus is using random names from the infected hosts address book and forging the senders name. I sincerely doubt that the emails you are getting are actually coming from Fyron. As I said, most likely a seperate source is infected and the virus is forging the senders name.

[Atrocities]

And PLEASE do not post actual email address on the forum. A troll or forum bot might dig them up and spam them. Very bad.

[DeadZone]

Or use them like some virus'es are

If you are getting these constantly then maybe you ought to look at the message 'source' to get the headers and find out where they are actually coming from. It sounds like some poor sap doesn't even know his computer is infected and it's probably acting as a 'zombie' in someone's DDOS network as well as sending out spam.

[Atrocities]

I get the same messages to both my Atrocities and StarTrekMod accounts. So that is most likely true. Someone who has both of those addresses in their email is most likely sending the virus emails and doesn't even know. Or worse, doesn't care.

Shame on you! Buy an anti virus program, or use the free on line ones to sweep your machine!
