It's most unlikely that your email has been compromised. It's much more likely 
that the mail system of some unknown Windows user has been compromised. The 
typical behaviour of many viruses, once they land on a computer, is generate 
email messages base on random searches of the host's address book, using 
different addresses for the sender and the user. This message has come from a 
computer that at one time has either received a message from you, or sent one 
to you. It could even be from some business which has purchased a list of email 
addresses from some organisation which concerns itself with selling such lists. 
There's really no way of tracing this stuff back to anyone. Just delete and 
move on.

Re: How to unsubscribe my obsolete email address ?

[Winters John]

Actually,

I have exactly this issue, and I've been receiving duplicate emails for some 
time.

I had originally subscribed to WAMUG using my ~@mac.com address, then years 
later when Apple forced people (subscribers actually) to use the ~@me.com for 
outgoing mail, I changed my "Mail" settings and found that although I could 
still receive WAMUG posts on my ~@mac.com address, I could not send to the list 
because the ~@me.com emails all bounced as an "unsubscribed" address. When I 
later re-subscribed with the ~@me.com I started getting duplicates of 
everything, but I could at least post again!

If I use the unsubscribe link, from my current email settings, I'll unsubscribe 
the NEW listing, and, like Stephen, I can't see a way to use the OLD email 
address as it no longer works. I checked the WAMUG website and did send an 
email to "wamug-own...@wamug.org.au" (which seems to have disappeared from the 
website now) but didn't hear anything, so decided to live with the duplicate 
posts.

So Daniel. If you're the man with the subscribers list, could I ask that you 
scroll through that long list again and delete , please?

Regards,
John

Re: iCal & mobile me

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Stuart,

Not sure how ou have for syncing setup on all your devices (iPhone / iPad / 
iMac).
Are all devices set to sync via MobileMe?

It does sounds like you might be syncing via iTunes AND MobileMe.

If you are syncing via MobileMe check in iTunes that you have syncing OFF

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iCal & mobile me

[Stuart Breden]

On a slightly different vein.

I use Notes quite a bit on my iPhone.

When I synchronise my iPhone with my home G5 iMac, the notes are  
uploaded to MOBILEME IMAP but then I get duplicate notes back onto my  
iPhone.  Very annoying as I am continuing deleting them.


Can't find how to fix this.  Can't find anything in the iPhone  
Settings or the Preferences in Mail.  Suggestions?
