| 303486 | 2004-12-16 00:58:00 | Hi there, on our dial-up account email address we keep receiving blank emails. Abosolutely nothing in them. Sometimes they are from our account itself and sometimes it is from xtra saying mail delivery failed to email addresses we don't even know. Whats going on? Virus? or some spammer using our addy??? running Outlook Express 6 on win2k all updated. Oh an AVG 7 email scanner wont run properly, OE just spits back an error bout password etc... gotta go, soz so breif. |

| 303488 | 2004-12-16 06:19:00 | thing is there is no attachment, except for the mail delivery failure and all the attachment was was a blank email from US | MrBeef (342) | ||
| 303489 | 2004-12-16 06:32:00 | Probably viruses being sent out by someone with your address in their address book, hence you getting the bounces. Happens to most people. |

| 303492 | 2004-12-16 08:27:00 | yeh well sometimes, I think it does come from us. Other times yeh it comes from addresses we don't even know. But there are no virus's in the them. | MrBeef (342) | ||
| 303493 | 2004-12-17 05:38:00 | Get one or two a day, best policy is to run Mailwasher and as suggested delete before you even download. You can find the origins but it is an absolute waste of time, just delete and accept that there are some brainless morons in this world. | FrankS (257) | ||
