I was wondering why Frinklin had sent me an email with the subject "^_^ mew-mew (-:" and a zip file attached. The contents of the message didn't make much sense, and I hadn't had time to check the attachment.
But just now I got a message from BRD with the subject "Re: Mail Server" and a zip file attached.
Someone's got a virus. It's probably not Frinklin or BRD; the one from BRD was recognised by SpamAssassin as coming from a forged address, but I don't have much else to work on. Whoever it is, though, has all three of us in their address book, so it's likely to be a Munuvian.
Posted by Pixy Misa at August 25, 2004 06:10 PMSomeone's forging my hotmail address... I get 2-3 spams returned everyday with virus attachments... any clue how to remedy the problem... I've got firewalls set up and run Ad-Aware and Spy-Bot frequently...
Posted by Madfish Willie at August 25, 2004 07:27 PMIf you look at the full headers (available in hotmail and yahoo) or check the options, right click on the email through most other programs, you should be able to see the source IP address. See where that gets you, if you haven't already tried.
Posted by Linda at August 25, 2004 08:57 PMWhen Jim set me up to host the symphony I was getting loads of emails from MuNu address with virii (well ... 3) You just have to be on your guard. The messages and subjects normally don't make much sense and I'm always super careful with any attachment I haven't asked for!

Posted by Stephen Macklin at August 26, 2004 02:58 AMI've got 4 email addresses - get virii and spam mostly on my yahoo account - which is the one I use for the most part in posting on blogs - although now that I have my own blog - my address isn't as easily harvested.
Luckily yahoo's spam filter is pretty good and catches most of it. But the best one I've seen yet is the one that had my own return address on it. Yep - the wankers didn't even check to see if the send and receive addy's were the same! Sheesh.
Anyhow, I think total in a day I get about 25 spam and virus emails - as I tell my husband - just delete them. Unless there is an unusually large amount from one place - there's not much profit in wasting time trying to figure out who it is. *sigh*
