Hi Peter,

My boss has been getting a lot of those too - not 500 mind you. Does the e-mail have an attachment? I am wondering if it might be an idea to talk to your ISP and see if they can do something about it. Is it a personal e-mail or a work e-mail? It may be a DOS attack . . .

HTH,
Riva

For the past ten days or so I have been inundated with messages telling me emails I have supposedly sent cannot be delivered. These come from two sources - some claim I'm trying to email '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' where xxx is a different name every time name and the rest refer to names with a Spanish address.

I have never done business in either country and have checked carefully - there is no address in either country in my address book nor does anyone I know have a t-mobile address. (For our US friends T-mobile is major Cell-phone provider in Europe)

I've checked my machine - every Windows patch is up to date, as is my Anti-Virus (AVG Paid For version) Firewall (Zone Alarm Paid for version). I've done everyting I can think of - scanned for spam, viruses, the lot but still they come. Problem is I'm not talking half a dozen - today (so far and it's only tea-time here) I've had almost 500! Yesterday it topped off at 834!!

Help - any ideas anyone? I'm almost afraid to try and download emails now as I know I'll get another load.

Thanks

Peter MacGregor
