I have never ever looked at anything in Russia, but I have a Russian friend,
that probably had his address book compromised, and my email address was in
there. I picked to block the sender, declined to get any mail from Russia,
whatever I can think of, nothing stops this mail. How can I stop it. I'm
using AVG protection, and of course are using Windows Vista Home Premium.
Any help is appreciated......Peter
 
Does the Subject field contain Cyrillic characters? Find a few that are
obviously common and then add them, (copy/paste), one at a time to a Subject
message rule that deletes it from the server.
 
Thank you Bruce, None of the Cyrillic characters, all I ever see, Postmaster
returned stuff, not actually anything written to me other then notices from
Daemon postmaster or something like that. I'm sorry I didn't mention it
before. It looks like my computer didn't except it, and then told the sender
about it, kind of stupid I think, but that reminds me of the early days with
email protectors, they did that as well. Any help is appreciated

I deleted all of them a few minutes ago, otherwise I would have an accurate
description
 
There is nothing you can do. The virus spoofs your email address, then the
recipient servers send a delivery notification failure to your address. I
got slammed with several hundred on one email address a few days ago.
