As far as I know, the only way you get an automated response like that is if
you're using the Microsoft Web Interface, which requires you to login using
a Passport.

Either you logged in and left your machine unattended, or someone else has
linked their Passport to your e-mail id.

Hi, Andy.

I am getting replys to a message I did not put on !!!!

Well, I can think of three possibilities that might cause this:

1.) Since people are required to sign on with their .Net Passport ID's and
passwords in order to post a question in the Microsoft Communities, someone:

a.) Has a .Net Passport ID very similar to yours, but accidently typed
your ID instead, and you both have the same password, so he was able to log
in and post the question as if he were you; or

b.) You logged into a public computer, such as one at a public library,
using your .Net Passport ID and password, but either you didn't remove your
credentials from the cache or didn't close the session, and somebody used
the public computer after you to post a question in the
Microsoft.Public.Access community. Since you were already logged on, he
wasn't prompted to log on (or "authenticate") himself, so he unwittingly
posted his question as if he were you; or

2.) There's a mistake in the database application that handles E-mail
responses, and the wrong record (i.e., the one containing your E-mail
address) has been been retrieved and used to erroneously send you the
application's automated responses to this posted question.

Since you have no control over the third scenario, but can easily fix the
problem with the first two scenarios by changing your password, I'd change
my .Net Passport password immediately if I were you.

HTH.

Andy,

We've received some reports of this problem, but they are few and far
between. I'd like to ask you for two things:

1) Send me the original message, including the headers, that you received
and quoted above.
2) Head into the web based reader and take a look to see if you are signed
up for any other threads that you didn't initiate.

Thanks for helping us make the system better,

I kept getting this happen to me too, unfortunately someone else also has my
userid (SJH) so I have now changed this, which I didn't really want to do as
now it is not as easy for me to search all my posts. Then yesterday it
happened again with my new id but this time when I looked up the post in
question the userid was nothing like mine? I can't send the notification
message at the moment as it is in a different email account... Is it not
possible to change this, maybe use the email address as the unique username?
