Upfront, I admit that I am a new member here and my company has not upgraded to Web Wiz Forum Version 8.x yet. We are still running Version 7.9.

Our forum is starting to attract some SPAM users with cryptic email addresses. Also from time to time a legitimate forum member will leave their company or change their email address.

In both these cases, we end up getting an email stating that forum post notifications to mailto:someone@companyname.com - ' mailto:someone@companyname.com - someone@companyname.com ' are undeliverable.

The question is 'How do we easily find and delete members based on their email address?' We have alot of members and matching an email address to a member's username is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Currently, I have to go into our SQL Server database and use my own SQL query to select member's username from member desriptions where email address is equal mailto:someone@companyname.com - 'someone@companyname.com' . After I find the member's username I can go into the Forum and delete the member.

Does anyone know of a better way to find and delete members based on their email address?

The bounced emails should contain the original email which should have the users username in.

You should also upgrade to version 8 ASAP as version 7.9 is not secure.
