Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 hello syzenith - how are you? hope you're having a good day. this sounds pretty nerdy, but you may want to run a virus-checker on your system -- i had a problem similar to this, where apparently "i" (or at least my email address) was sending weird racy emails to all sorts of people i've never heard of. i scanned my system and found that somehow someway my computer had been infected. it may be the w32.mydoom virus or some such -- mydoom spread all over the internet circa january 29 or so, so you'll need to update your virus definitions. you can download a check for the virus for free at (http://www3.ca.com/virusinfo/virus.aspx?ID=38102). i hope this helps. i'm not really tech-support, but anything is worth trying i guess. best of luck, allen , "syzenith" <syzenith> wrote: > Namaste Sri DharmaDev and Friends, > > Has anyone experienced this with their email addys?

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 There is a virus that does that. People of whom you have never heard get infected attachments, ostensibly from your address. Some of them send understandably hostile e-mails. I don't remember where it picks up the addresses-- could be the member list. It may or may not be your address book. The virus was doing that to me, for awhile. It seems to have stopped, some weeks ago. Since it is not possible to infect my computer, I don't know where it got my address.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 This kind of problem generally is generated by a worm installed in a computer. I had a similar problem once: after receiving all the emails the Outlook Express tried to send blank emails to all the people in my contact list.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Dear Jorge ji, If you are not already aware of the flaw in outlook express then may I suggest that you don't use it at all. Remove the configuration without thinking twice. This mail keeps some of the ports open, which are very not desirable, due to it's MIME.... Viruses, etc lazily get through open ports. The firewall, etc think that it is a valid mail and does not do anything against it. Om Namah Shivaya!
