My spam e-mail box has been filling up with messages from various @50paces.com addresses touting online pharmacies. I know that Bryan at 50 Paces has been trying to transfer the shop; perhaps in the interim his e-mail service has been hacked?

I looked at the header of the one I received. It is a spoof. 50paces is probably not hacked. Not a lot you can do about it except spam it.

Hopefully the owner (Bryan I think is his name) can confirm that things are ok.

If someone was good enough to hack an account, they're not going to send spam from it. You can do that from free accounts just fine.

Neither the website nor my email have been hacked.
I'll contact my Server admin to see if there is anything that can be done about the domain name being used this way.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Happy holidays!
