When I clicked on the TO: field the smtp address was user's JSmith's ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I tracked messages for JSmith and KJones and the log said the message was only for JSmith. This was unsolicited email. The ceo wants an explanation of how this could happen. In a fuzzy way, I think I know but can someone give me a good explanation I can use.
