I've been getting one or two of these letters a week, saying that "my" mail cannot be delivered. The addresses are entirely strange to me. There appears to be no content, just attachments, couple of ".tmp" attachments in this case. They may not survive forwarding to the list. I never open attachments on principle.

Have I been kidnapped and is my address being used for nefarious purposes? How? I've been 100% Linux for ages!

Ken McAllister.
