Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Virus under erics name ?
You can't trust the "Reply To:" or "Sender:" in an e-mail. They can be
very easily forged.
I'm getting about 10-20 e-mails a day from virus scanners on e-mail
servers bouncing back messages to me telling me
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) that I sent a virus in an e-mail to an
address that I never sent an e-mail to, just because someone has my
e-mail address in their address book.
E-mail viruses pick someone at random in your address book as the
receipient, someone at random as the sender, and someone at random as
the reply-to address.
You can check the SMTP headers of an e-mail to see what e-mail server
the message originated from, but even the SMTP headers can be forged.
I've given up trying to reply to people and explain to them that *I* did
not send them a virus, someone else did using my e-mail address as the
sender.
