Sat, 21 August 2004 23:45 firstly people are always spoofing email addresses, i see it ALL the time (well i do work for optus cable tech support ) - i take it your using hotmail for your emails? - do you use the online emailing facility theat hotmail has or arre you using outlook express? but from the error:- - it says your sending an email from cartman_203@hotmail.com to webmaster@toymods.org.au - from there it is getting redirected to max@nark.is-a-geek.com which translates to nark.ga60@gmail.com - and this is all going through a google outgoing mail server now:- - the toymods domain is being hosted by secure ip which goes through telstra *shakes head* - hotmail is hosted by microsoft therefore:- - all indications lead to spam/spoofing email - if you use outlook express then their could possibly be an issue on your PC but it is highly unlikely as the email seems to be going through the google mail servers - if your using hotmail to check emails then that has a junk box and should get filtered there. - if your using outlook express then i would suggest to get a spam filter on the PC - also update your Antivirus and do a full system scan, or get a program if you dont have one. also update your spyware/adware program and do a full system scan, or get one if you dont have one. finally get a firewall if you dont have one too - lastly for every scan you do restart the Pc after its finished and scan again untill there is absolutely nothing found anymore future:- - with all the programs running see how you go for a week or so and if nothing happens again then it was the PC - if it still continues then it is spoofing and unfortuneately there is nothing you can really do, you can try checking the email haders to see if you can determine where the email originally comes from. if you can find that out then you will need to email that abuse deartment to take action against the person(s) spoofing your email EDIT: HOPE THAT HELPS YOU [Updated on: Sat, 21 August 2004 23:45] [Report message to a moderator]
