I have an email address that I've used for only two things:
1. Signing up for the old eve-radio website
2. Signing up for the new eve-radio forum

#2 I just did 5 minutes ago.

Ever since eve-radio was bought by GRN, I've been receiving emails I've never requested to my eve-radio email address, with no information about how to unsubscribe.
The most recent one was about some new website, "OneDump Image Hosting". Previously it was about GRN launching some new radio stations.

I want off! I want to unsubscribe. If this is really not spam, please tell me how I can stop receiving these emails.

Sounds like random spam to me, apart from an infrequent newsletter that gets sent out to all registered forum members detailing ER/GRN activities and the like.

Incidently, GRN was founded as the grown up daddy of Eve Radio. It is run by the same people who run Eve-Radio.

I just got that OneDump message myself to the email account im registered here with.
My account is also pretty new and i have only registered a few places with it.

I received that onedump message both on my personal and GRN accounts today, so looks like the usual mass mailer stuff targeted at domains rather than individual users, as my personal address has never been used for anything ER/GRN

I'm not at all convinced it's just "the usual" mass mailer stuff, unless eve radio posted the email address I subscribed with onto a webpage somewhere. Nobody else has this email address, and it's specific for eve radio. I use a different email address at my domain for every single thing I sign up for.
I received 3 emails in March from some warez site, "Project Black", to my eve radio email address, and none to any of my other email addresses. I find the coincidence to be rather peculiar, and possibly not a coincidence. I would encourage the eve radio team to investigate if there's some way their email list or database could have been compromised, or unintentionally made public.
