Re: [Simply Computers] Hacked Address Book

 

1. Change your password.
2. Enter a fake adress which is very first one.
 
like " 12.mailbox.com".  Entre without the quotes.
 
Note the first character is space.
 
Mass mailer will encounter the very first email address as
invalid and reject the whole list.
 
It worked for me.
 
Good luck
