We see mail attempting to be sent to accounts that haven't existed in years, and even those that existed and went away before we started using Imail. Anybody, including an infected computer or a spammer list can continue trying to send to address that no longer exist. They don't know it doesn't exist.

The rejected e-mail address was ><mailto:'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'>'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Subject >'Message Test', Account: 'David Johnson', Server: >'mail.starcomnetwork.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 unknown >user <<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'>[EMAIL PROTECTED]>', Port: >25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79 The admin@ account isn't the issue here -- that's the fake address the virus is pretending to send from. You want to try sending to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] account (the one that the virus is being sent to). If the [EMAIL PROTECTED] account exists, then there isn't anything unusual going on here. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
