Wish it was possible, but my wife & the other person that received them have already trashed the e-mails. So, no luck there. This has become my latest crusade, to get people to use "BCC." IP: Logged |

Well I can think of some things, but I don’t know how much truth there is behind this someone logged into your account, and sent the email. More probable is someone got your email address and then spoofed it, and sent that email on there end but making it look like it came from yours. Again you need to check the headers of the email that was sent by you address. What you can do is look at the email that your wife got from you look at the headers and then you can see exactly where it was sent from. If you want email me the headers and I will look for you ------------------ For every problem, there is a solution.

What about the emails people get from you? As far as I know viruses cannot log in by themselves to a web based email client and send out emails. ------------------ For every problem, there is a solution.

Do you check your email locally as in Outlook or Outlook Express, or web based through going on the Internet to a website where you sign in? You are correct the method you have described is also known as spoofing using an email address other then what the original email address was. Also some virus once infected on your machine will send that virus to everyone in your address book. The email they receive does it contain an attachment? You also could check the headers of the email that these people get to determine where this email is actually coming from. ------------------ For every problem, there is a solution.

As far as I know, there's probably not much I can do. It's more likely, though, that my email address is in the addressbook of someone else whose system has been infected. One common tactic used by virus writers is to use the addresses in an infected addressbook and send messages seeming to come from those addresses. So, do I really need to do a virus scan as I have an active anti-virus program working now? IP: Logged |

Hi all; A few people have mentioned to me that they are receiving e-mails from my e-mail account. The only problem is that I didn't send these e-mails. I've heard of this before. Can someone shed some light on this and what I can do to fix this problem? IP: Logged |
