Yes, I did! And the issue is that it goes direct to my spam folder with the reason:

"Be careful with this message. Our systems couldn't verify that this message was really sent by wachovia.com. You might want to avoid clicking links or replying with personal information."

I wonder if the GRM relay is just changing the from line and most of the issues are related to spam filters tossing them away. In any case... I have to run my son to basketball camp then I'll snag a frosty beverage, retire to the deck with a platter of grillin's and read/respond.

Hello;

I'm new to this forum and I'm having a problem sending Private Messages; whenever I try to do so, I receive a message saying that I must be approved by an "Admin" in order to send and receive private messages. Any hints on how to proceed here? How can I contact an "Admin"?

Best,

Daniel

In reply to matumorales: Users can't send PMs until their account has been active for 30 days. It's one of our features to prevent spammers from sending PMs willy nilly. If you'd like to contact someone, either wait until then or send me an email and tell me the user name of who you're trying to contact.

Was there a problem with spammers sending out a bunch of messages?

I've never seen that, but I wouldn't put anything past spammers, really.

I seem to remember an episode a while back where forum members were getting unwanted PMs from new users.

Yup. So we had to add the waiting period.
