I don't visit my Yahoo email account as much as I should (maybe once every 3 days) but I've noticed something funny going on lately. I've been getting returned undeliverable emails from AOL addresses. Has my email been hijacked? My Nortons doesn't pick up anything.

Spray yourself with lysol and then soak in a tub of rubbing alcohol... that should clear up anything...

Is the SPAMGUARD from Yahoo on ? Are you getting that on the INBOX or the other carpet ?

Sounds more like someone is spoofing your e-mail as the "from" of a spam message and the returns get sent to you.

I've been seeing those around and around again on the accounts I use. They seem to rotate as I will have one receive the messages one month, then some time off, and then another one will receive undeliverable messages with AOL accounts as the intended receiptiant.

Nothing you can do about it but wait it out and delete the motices.

I wouldn't think so - AOL should be smart enough to track them back to the source and not the individual that is sending them.

But then again - getting banned from AOL isn't all that bad [img]wink.gif[/img]

BE AWARE:

Today's viruses are moving at an ALARMING rate.

I got an update on WEDNESDAY about a strain of 5 or 6 viruses to watch for.

On FRIDAY one of my servers failed to do it's autoupdate (I still don't know why) and got infected over the weekend (the Sdbot.worm) and it's been causing my nework to go up and down all day while I'm trying to isolate and annihilate the virus.

I don't think it is anyone targeting anyone here. I am receiving them on accounts that you all won't be aware of.

it is just the way things are going at the moment with spammers trying to spoof who their "grow your penis", "Make her scream all night long", "make him want to play with your new large boobs", "horny wives next door" and "buy <insert drug name here> cheap online" e-mails are coming from. They somehow find an e-mail online from anywhere and they use it in their spamming.

Most ISPs are now mature enough in it all to make sure if the account that is actually spamming their user base is a real one or a faked one. It is so easy to do that it has become second nature for the no-so-honest people to do that it is getting out of control. All you can do right now is just delete the message or set up a rule to have them go directly to your trash folder in your e-mail client.

lol, he's a clasic thats for sure. for the most part I did ok with him. he was a lot different when he wasnt on the board. there's been others like Ryan316 that were more obnoxious

I had problems with DM because he hated Qu?bec separatists so he hated me. No Doz included me in a racial slur verbal diarhea he started once and I really didn't appreciated it.

I was pretty close to Liberal Expender until he lost it. I also remeber a time when there was about 8 ryanophone
