Email that keeps being emailed to me

Guest

We are in a small office and our email is hosted by a company called XO.
Everyone in our office keeps getting this same email about 10 times a day
from the same person and she is not sending the email. I checked her
computer for a virus and there is none, and her computer is updated with the
latest virus def. I have done some reading and I found something on spoofing
which I'm assuming that is what it is. However I just want to make sure that
is what it is.... I have included the email header I don't know if that will
help.

It is most probabaly a spoof email. Copy the header of this spoof email and
check for the source IP and see if it is the same ip pointing to you mail
server IP.

Lets just say it's not a spoof email, what else could be going on?

Thanks- Andre

I sure hope that you modified all the addresses you included in your post
because if you haven't your co-workers will not thank you for giving their
addresses tio SPAMmers and virus-generators, which you always do by posting
real addresses in public newsgroups.

Dear Andre,

It would be difficult to judge anything at this stage until we minimize the
possibilities. You first make sure it is not spoof by checking the header.
Once you check the header you'll know the source IP it is coming from outside
or inside of your organization. Lets say it is not spoof and you see internal
IP as the source. It might be a virus having its own smtp server. You can
also check SMTP logs to confirm the source IP
