For example, I have received some virus infected emails at home to my personal address from a hijacked home email address of a manager here at my office. Neither of us have each other's personal email addresses at home, nor have we ever written each other from our personal addresses. And for close to the last week or so I have been getting 10-30 infected emails a day from some source that has hijacked Sam Gollob's email address. With the millions of email addresses out there, this seems like too much of a coincidence to me to be random virus spreading. I just hit the delete key and haven't looked at headers. With 100+ spam emails a day at home, I don't have the time nor desire. Spam is a fact of life I just live with. And before someone tells me to get spam software, I've tried *lots* of them. The bottom line is I still miss things I need to see and when something or someone new comes along I still need to check for that. The spammers keep getting better all the time also so it's hard for the spam software to keep up. I use a mozilla mail client that helps me to easily identify email from someone in my address book (by color) and helps identify spam in my inbox.
