Guest SalG (Sal Grenci) Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Maybe PeterG can shed some light on this. It is probably taking the email addresses out of Outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Gariepy Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 i doubt that this email came from the AACA email server. Until i can see the email in question i can't diagnose where it came from.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikzjr@aol.com Posted November 19, 2002 Author Share Posted November 19, 2002 i forward the returned mail thats what i get when i try to forward the e-mail to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gariepy Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I've seen the forwarded email. Yup, it has a virus. No, it didnt come from the AACA server although it states "postermaster@aaca.org".Nothing i can do from this end however as it didnt come from the aaca server - it only states it did.Not a great answer, but its the truth.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wally888 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 There are several virus that , once on a computer, select email addresses from your address book then send an email to one address and use the other as the sender. I have received many although I have no virus on my computer but am listed in someone's address book who has a virus. Probably several. If you want to check your computer for a virushttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.aspwill check free for you!http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
