At one point, by clicking on the "mail" icon under a person's post, you could fill out a forum to e-mail them. A person called "A" (Expample) did this, and so sent an e-mail to "B". When "B" got it, the return address was forum@pcmech.com, because it came from a form on this Forum. "B" just hit reply and did not read the part of the message that stated "Don't reply directy, reply to 'A'@domain.root".
I have since changed this for the sake of simplicity. The e-mail button will now display e-mail addresses, so people can use their normal e-mail client to send via SMTP (how 75% of e-mail on the net is sent in the world...hence the need for a SMTP server from your ISP, unless you use AOL, which uses it's own way to send mail with in it's system) so no form is used unless the person registering chooses not to have their e-mail address displaied, then there is no mail icon.
