I am being plagued by many bogus "cannot deliver mail" etc. (22 this morning). Is this happening elsewhere and how can I stop it, please ? Anthony

Anthony, the messages you are receiving are the result of someone else's computer being infected with a virus. Your address was obviously on the address book in that computer. The messages are "spoofing" your address for want of a better word and it is nothing you have done. The only way it will cease is when the infected computer is cleansed of the virus. The best thing to do is just delete them and ignore them. Better still, set up a rule in your mail program to delete them on arrival then you won't have to worry about them. Mailwasher PRO would help in that regard, by the way as it would delete them BEFORE you download them: http://entier.ecosm.com/system/redir.php?ad=15&aid=2359 Lance -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Windrum [mailto:anthony@awindrum.freeserve.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, 10 August 2004 17:12 To: GEN-COMP-TIPS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Gen-Comp-Tips] unwanted mail I am being plagued by many bogus "cannot deliver mail" etc. (22 this morning).
