Strange e-mail happenings.

S

I sent out a service reminder to one of our customers (this is the 2nd time
this has happened) and after she received our e-mail she started getting
e-mails from the online so-called guru of making money "Robert Allen". Our
company is Robert Allen Auto Group. Somehow that "other" Robert Allen has
attached himself or his e-mails to our customers addresses and is sending
them unknown amounts of spam.
Has anyone ever had this happen?

Also, I continue to get an e-mail from "123Greetings.com" I have on
MULTIPLE occassion's added this web address to the junk mail but it keeps
coming back using a different IP address. How can I permanently remove this
from my e-mail.

It isn't possible to "attach" email from one service to another service. If
your client is filtering on "Robert Allen", she will either block all
"Robert Allen" email, or allow all "Robert Allen" email. She needs to find a
more specific filter keyword, which differentiates between the two "Robert
Allens".

I don't use MS Outlook, and I don't have any "Robert Allen, financial guru"
spam, so I have no clue how to handle it that way. I use an email program
called, "Pegasus Mail", which can filter on *all* headers, so I would
differentiate between the two "Robert Allens" by filtering on the source IP
address.
Also, I continue to get an e-mail from "123Greetings.com" I have on

Spammers are constantly morphing. I don't think that there can ever be a
"filter once, always gone" method of dealing with spam. If the spammers
would just spend half as much time at honest labor as they do at beating
filters, they'd be twice as wealthy. Spamming is a sociopathic enterprise.
