I just received a membership request from an unfamiliar email address on a restricted group that I set up on . ?I am hesitant to send an email out from my personal email address out of concern that this is from a spammer?and my personal email address will be added to a spam list. ?The group is small and specialized, so it seems odd that I would receive an email from an address that I don't recognize, and there is no reason for the general public to want to join this group, yet I don't want to decline the invitation out of hand out of concern that a legitimate user may have opened up an email account with an address I'm unfamiliar with. ?Any suggestions on how to send an inquiry as to the identity of the potential subscriber without opening up yet another email address on Gmail or Yahoo! or some other free email provider so as to protect my personal email address from harvesting?
