In the past few weeks we have been receiving e-mails coming into our [EMAIL PROTECTED] account like the following (see below)
our info@ account is not an actual mailbox, it is a forwarded account that forwards to 5 people, and nobody can send from it. The subject's of these emails are "Returned Mail: see transcript for details"
Yeah so someone (spam,virus,etc) used your info@ address to send out messages (forged your name) and now your getting all the bounces from it. This happens daily and there isnt much you can do about it. I have an account set up [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is ONLY listed on my whois record. so obviously spammers are checking whois to get addresses even though its not legal..the account itself is only an alias, it doesnt even exist..yet check the mail i get daily to this account:
