Strange messages

[jaustin]

I hope someone can provide insight on these strange messages that pop up in
my inbox very regularly.
Maybe 3 or 4 per day. And they come with slightly different messages.
Should I be concerned??

It's a result of virus messages send to you somehow. If you don't open the
attachments (could be cleared already by the mailserver) you shouldn't be
concerned. It's anoying just like all the other virusses and spam.

Hi Jaustin
I don't know what or why you receive the strange email messages (possible spamming?) but you can help eliminate them by right-clicking on the message in your inbox and scroll down to 'junk e-mail' and see the 'fly-out' menu with actions you can apply to those e-mail messages. Also at the bottom of that menu are 'junk email options' for more controls
Hope this helps get rid of them.

The computer of someone who has your address in their address book has
become infected with a virus that is sending messages with your address in
the From field. You are seeing the results of those messages that are
undeliverable. Since the messages appeared to come from you, you get the
bounces.

Can I determine who has an infection.
I get these things 3 and 4 at a time, and they always look a little
different and with various From addresses?

I don't know of any way.
