Is their any way an outside user can get hold of our e-mail addresses through participation in QA? My service provider has been automatically updating my password, saying "a huge amount of spam e-mails have been sent" using my e-mail address. Just wondering - has anyone else had the same problem since joining QA?

I have not had that problem.

Your email address is not accessible to anyone, people or search engines, as it is never published on the site.

I've been atacched by a mountain of spam but not because i play in QA.I think Miguel is a good professional reserve very much confidential information.

To Miguel, to be aware of: I was reading on the FICS website that "certain ISPs treat e-mails from FICS as spam" and I can only guess that Hinet (local ISP here in Taiwan) also does so. Apparently AOL also treats FICS e-mails as spam; hope this is not a problem to too many members ;-) ;-)

Yes, but I'm pretty sure users have controls to override that and let those emails go through. If you ask your ISP they should tell you how to do that.
