Re: [IMail Forum] Deleted Users and Viruses

[JustRight]

Hi All     Recently I noticed that even after I removed past users from my email server, I still receive mail addressed to them.  There are not copies of their past directories or any trace of their account in the registry listing.   In most cases viruses are being sent to those accounts and in my opiniun they should not have reached the server is the accounts don't exist.   Can any one explain?   I noticed that an account called [EMAIL PROTECTED] keeps sending mail to uses on my system.  Not sure if it is sending out as well.  I have no account under that name.  I suppect a worm, but have Norton Antivirus running in the back ground on the server. It seems to stop most of the viruses but in some case don't seem to recognise those in some .ZIP files.   I have both Norton Antivirus for server and email installed but none seem to find any worm like creters.   Can any one explain the [EMAIL PROTECTED] or come across the it before?   I await your response.    Thanks...   David Johnson
