| Un-Delivered Mail
Maybe not the question for this forum, but some what related.
I'm getting email messages marked as Un-Deliverable, these are messages I have not sent. They seem to come in all different flavors. Some have my email address along with a differnet name.
What's the deal with these?
I use both Outlook and Outlook Express. I have noticed recently that when I attempt to delete a un-read spam email, outlook will sometimes say that the sender wishes to recieve an email acknowledging the delete. I always say no. Outlook Express nevers gives me that response.
I realize the sneaky bastards are trying to see if they got a valid email address.
Could Outlook Express be sending out replys to this request without my knowing?
Or is this just whole thing another form of Spam? |

Batavia, IL | This is the virus going around. It does not mean you have it but someone with your email address in their contacts has it. Delete these and hope whoever has your email address in their contacts cleans their computer real quick. |

I and several other people can state here that the "My Doom" Virus has a social angle with the "Undeliverable" in the subject. It is to confuse you into thinking you have sent an e-mail to someone and it was bounced. The virus is attached to this. That would just be my first best guest. Several employees at my company have been receiving this type of mail.
Hope this helps! |

I too have received a spate of these. Luckily using MailWasher they can be deleted/bounced while still on the mail server. |
