Exactly the same thing's happening to me at the moment. I appear to be zealously concerned that people are getting the most appropriate pain medication. Most perplexing.

They're getting cleverer though... they clearly think anything from DG must be worth a second look. I suppose it's a way into white list protected email boxes too.

I've flagged all these undeliverable mail messages as spam, which means that most of them just go straight into Gmail's spam folder.
I can heartily recommend this as it does reduce the irritation level somewhat.

That must be infuriating. I think I may call any daughter I have frankotte though...

That happened to Rob too. He sent out apologies and the ones that recieved them wrote really nice letters back

I found that over Christmas and New Year I received about four or five times the amount of spam and bouncebacks than normal. Hm.

I'm surprised this is only the first time this has happened to you DG. I get it all the time and more worrying I get it from my personal email address which isn't even published anywhere as far as I know. My ISP said there was nothing I can do about it apart from get a new email address!!!
I think the bastards buy them from companies that you may have registered with for something or other and then use them for "psishing" or whatever it's called, rather than just "farm" or "harvest" the net for email addresses.

Happened to me a couple of years back with one of those viruses. I had a few months of rubbish but it eventually dried up. Keep your fingers crossed!

You can set up a mail rule to delete these directly from the server so they're not downloaded and you never see them.
In case you don't know how - in Outlook Express (I'm sure that other email programs must do similar):
click - message/ create rule from message/ [add details to box 1] / check bottom choice in box 2 'select thh actions for the rule' (delete from server).

I can set up rules like that in Outlook, but I can't find any way to delete things from the server before they download. Damn.

DG, does your ISP offer a web-enabled version of your e-mail account?
If it did, you might be able to preview the entire mailbox and delete the nasty stuff in bulk.
Then you could download your safe stuff into your email client.
Oh, and of course, you have my sympathies. These spoofing freakshows are spoiling the net/web for everyone.

my domain host offers a facility where any e-mails not addressed to [email protected] get bounced straight back where they came from. So I have two or 3 e-mail addresses - [email protected], subscriptions@, blog@ & so on, and anything that's not addressed to those gets bounced straight back whence it came. Is that possible with your hosting company?

Now there's a good idea, Deborah.
Let me see if that works...

It won't stop the hijacking of your e-mail by nefarious persons, but you won't know about it, which might make you feel better
