I get fake messages from eBay, if I send it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
It seems they slow down for awhile, I open the whole header for them, they always write you back and say it was a fake, ya I knew that. Ebay wrote back a few times telling me that a couple messages contained a Trojan Horse and if I had clicked one of the links I would have destroyed ebay and the the whole internet, except for for my Mac that is.......
I also send the spam to my ISP and say here you go. I think the more complaints the more they have to try and stop this.


Running Mail 3.3 it's real good about filtering these out, after about 3 days of training I just let it go, I may have 50 to 60 junk e-mails a day, but there junk and rarely does it mess up and put something good in the junk box and if it does, it's very easy to spot.

Emery is right. It's called "spoofing" and I am a victim also. I just keep
deleting them. The only way you can really get rid of it is to change your
e-mail address - an option I'm not willing to exercise at present. My e-mail
is tied to my business.

hi all,  I am occasionaly recieveing notices of mail unable to be
delivered to such?such address,  but I havent mailed such a thing to
anyone...

This isn't spam, but it is due to a virus on someone's computer.
There are several viruses out there that infect PC computers.  These
viruses reside on a person's computer and look for email addresses
that are on that computer.  They then send out fake messages to those
email addresses using other email addresses that they find on that
computer as the apparent sender.  They also include an attachment
that, if opened, will infect the receiving party's computer.
