I have received a few e-mails during the last year, which were sent to me by the TTLG site, but I'm not the recipient. Unfortunately, that means that other people's mail addresses are disclosed to me.
These mails are sent by "admin@ttlg.com" instead of the usual "TTLG Forums". The subject is empty.
The mail text looks like the following:
DATA
Date: Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:02:43 -0400
Subject: "Thief Fan Missions" update
To: (an e-mail address, likely the real recipient)
From: "TTLG Forums" < admin@ttlg.com >
Return-Path: admin@ttlg.com
Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
Message-ID: <200810040432.c3285f494915@www.ttlg.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
X-Priority: 3
X-Mailer: vBulletin Mail via PHP
After that, the text meant for the real recipient follows. It's a standard text, e.g., "Dear X, there are new postings in a thread you subscribed to...".
These mails do not arrive very often. I got one in January, one in September, and one this Saturday, as you can guess from the above. So, these are not a big nuisance for me.
The main problem with these mails is that they disclose the real recipient to me, and of course everyone else who gets these mails. If a spammer gets these addresses, this would not be so funny.
Could someone please look into this (if it is not under investigation alreadey)?
One last thing: Earlier this year, I also got one mail from "admin@ttlg.com" with no subject line, but it looked fairly normal (e.g., didn't start with DATA and contained no detailed sender info in the mail text), and I was the correct recipient of that mail. Maybe this could help you find the source of the problem as well.
If I can be of further assistance, contact me, and I'll try to help.

Could you please PM me the full email with all headers and the email addresses/usernames intact?
Thanks! :)

PM sent (finally).
Update: It's going from bad to worse. Two more of these mails have arrived, one for me, but the other for someone else. Apparently the glitch occurs with increasing frequency. :eww:
