[Healeys] Crikey! an Australian Virus (Non-Healey)

[Jody Kerr]

That's part of e-mail spoofing. Anyone with a little knowledge can send an
email and make it look like it came from you.

If you look at the header records you can figure out where the email really
originated from.

They are likely using your email address at random.

I am getting odd failed email messages that make it look like I have sent a
mass e-mail to a bunch of what I believe to be Australian e-mail addresses.

I believe they are australian as they all end in ".au"  Many or from the
somewhat sinister sounding "mailer-daemon" although I have not yet heard
from the the "major-domo" who I beleive may be the final arbitor of these
matters.

I am posting to the list because no offense, but the closest I get to any
Australians is through correspence about Healeys (and Austin Healeys, just
to make some happy about the distinction) on the list.  Plus their is just a
lot of wisdom about just about everything on the list

Any thoughts or experience with such a thing, I have gotten maybe a dozen
returned mail or failed message notes in the last couple of days, to my
knowledge I have sent no mass e-mails to Australians.  I know viruses can
send out or make it look like there are being sent e-mails from your
address.
