1216669	2011-07-14 01:43:00	I keep getting this, and I have no idea what it is all about? Original Message----- From: Mail Delivery System Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2011 12:06 PM To: bspong@slingshot.co.nz Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) The following message to <bspongl@slingshot.co.nz> was undeliverable. The reason for the problem: 5.4.7 - Delivery expired (message too old) 'timeout'	Cicero (40)

If not then it is definitely just bounce-spam (or joe-job) i.e. someone intentionally sending spam to bad addresses with your addy as the SMTP MAIL FROM: (not necessarily the same as the From: header in the message), so that the failure report (usually including the original spam) gets 'returned' to you, and as it is a delivery fail msg, has a higher chance of getting past your spam filters. It purports to be a delivery failure report for a message you sent to bspongl@slingshot.co.nz, which sounds a bit bogus to me. These can also just be fake DSN's delivered directly, for the same reasons as above. A copy of the full message, including headers, might shed some more light on it.	fred_fish (15241)
