Hi

I'm getting loads of emails today that are junk mail that's being returned to sender. Someone is using email addresses like "madeupname@bigfizz.com" as the return to address. Not only that but I've also had a couple of emails from people asking me to stop sending them junk mail. How do we set about stopping this? My inbox is overflowing. :mad:

Thanks

Scott

Check the returned sender's IP and compare it to the letters which people previously sent you. Somebody who previously was in contact with you is infected with virus and sending these mails from/to all his address book people.

Ive had the same problem recently.
I think its called a "Joe Job" and I doubt there anything you can do about it.
Its a way for the spammers to have a real return address.
They seem to rotate addresses, so I will get 500+ returns in in an hour, then it will stop for a week. What a pain!
