I'm having some strange problems. In the last week I've had a couple of delivery failure reports for undelivered emails, ie emails purporting to be from me that couldn't be delivered. In both cases the 'ReplyTo' address was mine, which is why the DFR came to me, of course. Trouble is, I didn't send emails to either of these two addresses. I've had the original emails back, as well, and in both cases the contents are a bit strange - there's an attachment, called 'my_details.pif', which Mail thinks is 2 bytes in size. I remember .pif files from early Windows days on PCs, but presumably something else may be using that extension now.
My first thought was that I must have been the victim of a spammer who's hijacked my email address, but I've noticed something else. Once or twice when I've had Safari open and have minimised the main window I've found a smaller window underneath it. It looks like a dating or contact agency advert! - and, they're in Italian.... More interesting stuff - it's definitely in a Safari window, but going to View -> Source produces a blank window, labelled 'Source of '
If I was using a PC I'd be pretty sure I'd loaded some sort of trojan which was sending out messages, but I'm not, I'm on OS X 10.3.3, which is supposed to be virus-free. (And that's another thought - this has only started since I upgraded to 10.3 a week or just over ago.)
Does anyone else have any thoughts?
