Ok. My Boss's computer is sending random emails from outlok i presume
to random people, not on his contact lists. They have no real rhyme or
reason. But since his email is a catch all we are seeing the returned
ones and today he got a nice little screw off letter. I have scanned
with spybot and nothing. Any ideas? Here is the text its sending...


"""""What the Pope intended, the Italian cardinal emphasized, was "a
clear and radical rejection of the religious motivation for violence,
from whatever side it may come.
In these times, a pro-life Democrat could be a strong competitor. So if
that's what it takes for you, go look into it.
Where are his brothers? Yes, and His mother was a perpetual,
consecrated virgin. As always his points are humorous, but don't miss
the very valid points.
What bothers me is the lack of Islamic believers who refuse to quietly
allow their faith to be taken over by these terrorists - who do not
follow many of the teachings of Islam. How many would believe?
But I think it's clear: to quote a historically accurate quote is not
to accept the quote at face value.
The emperor, after having expressed himself so forcefully, goes on to
explain in detail the reasons why spreading the faith through violence
is something unreasonable. The information is available that will help
you believe.
More About New Movies. And pray daily that the scourge of abortion
ends. Arnaldez, who points out that Ibn Hazn went so far as to state
that God is not bound even by his own word, and that nothing would
oblige him to reveal the truth to us. There is simply no reason to
believe that Jesus had siblings. Besides using the aliases of Andrews
and Draper, impersonating a priest, and being a jailbird, Nicholas was
known to associate with outlaws.
Outside of the Bible there is no evidence that Jesus had a brother. DVD
movies scheduled for October include The Break-Up, Monster House, Nacho
Libre, Mission: Impossible III, Thank You for Smoking,.
Not one other sibling is mentioned or even referred to in this passage
and with an elderly Joseph you have to call into question the potential
brothers of Jesus. Once again, many Muslim leaders are inciting their
faithful against perceived slights and trying to proscribe how free
societies discuss one of the world's major religions."""""

Catchall isn't recommended - you're going to be getting a ton of spam even
beyond the problem you're having here.

<nonsense contents of spam msg snipped>

Some address on your domain is being used somewhere as the sender of spam.
Not something on your/his computer, necessarily, even. Since your boss has a
catchall address, someone sending mail out pretending to be from
(e-mail address removed) to a nonexistent address, your boss is going to get
all the NDRs (nondelivery reports). Not using a catchall will make life a
lot easier for him in general.

Rest assured that your boss's computer is most likely NOT sending that
message. Instead, there is some PC "out there" that has been compromised
and that had your boss's mail address in its address book. That compromised
PC is sending the junk, using your boss's mail address (and the other
addresses that were on that PC) as the sender. IN other words, your boss's
mail address was hijacked. This is de rigeur for spammers now and there's
little your boss can do to stop it. The problem, again, is not on his PC,
but he's seeing the bounces generated by the spam being sent to non-existent
addresses because the spam uses his address as the sending address.
