I had a problem recently where I was receiving anywhere from ten
to fifty "returned" emails a day. It appeared that I was sending them;
however, there would be odd subjects in the subject line. Goodness
knows how many actually made it through to legitimate addresses.
I tried everything I could think of to stop it. I was told by someone
I respect that this is just a vehicle to transmit viruses. The offender
finds a legitimate address to use as a transmitter, infects the email
with a virus and then sends it out enmasse. The only advice I can
make is use your delete button alot and KEEP YOUR VIRUS
PROTECTION UP TO DATE! Don't respond to the offending
email, it will just keep propagating.
Hope this helps someone,
Carole
