I received spam via my unique e-mailaddress I use for this forum

I am using Hide My Email by Apple to assign unique addresses to services. Recently I received an e-mail to the address I use for this forum…

How can people get my e-mail? Or is this a crack in Apple’s system?

You leaked your email address yourself by setting it as “name” in your profile.

Hi,
If it is the e-mail address that is shown in the header of your post, it is easy to get it :wink:

You need to edit your profile to Remove your e-mail address from the “Name” field

Best regards,

Edit: grilled + path to preferences pane

wtf?! That must have been the default value then?!
I never set it that way and I thought I only saw that… why would there otherwise be two names?
