According to my dad, he hasn't seen anything of that sort. It seems to be totally autonomus (spelling?). However, seeing as though I've got some more notifications today, my dad may have moved the wrongly-trapped stuff to my inbox, or he finally decided to disable it.
Now, why can't I do that myself? Simple. Dad decided that in the name of making sure I'm not getting anything nasty (and thank God I haven't gotten anything nasty so far), he changed the e-mail server password, so I don't know what he picked. All I know is that he configured Outlook Express to use the correct passward, so I can still see my inbox, I just can't access it via a web browser, and therefore can't even set my own options.
