Really odd messages..
I have a problem with messages that claims to be from a mail-daemon at different servers saying that the message i sent did not reach it's destination, though i never sent the message in the first place.
The messages are sometimes up to 300kb in size, just a few of these fills my mailbox and makes me unable to recive the emails i want to recieve. I don't know what this is, if it is my computer that has a virus that uses my account on hotmail to multiply, I just don't understand where the virus would get the email adresses that these messages are supposed to be sent to since they are completly unknown to me, they don't exist in any adressbook i have. Or it could be that somone has manngaed to break into my mailaccount and sent some kind of spam or virus that didn't reach it's destination. (Just as a precaution if this is the case i have just recently changed my password). Or is it just another idea the spammers and virus-creators have come up with to distrubute their trash? Using some kind of glitch in the filtering process of hotmails spam-filters (these messages looks verry much like a real 'delivery failed' notice sent by a mail-daemon, and there is a copy of the original message witch is an attached .pif file or simply a jumble of asorted letters much like you get when trying to open an executable in notepad.). Anyone have a clue??
