I am getting undeliverable error messages for messages I did not send! What is happening?
Most likely your email address has been ‘spoofed’. Spoofing an email address is similar to writing a different return address on an envelope. It appears as though the letter or email was sent from a different address. When the SPAM message is sent to an invalid email address, you may receive the bounce back error messages stating that a message could not be delivered. Spammers can ‘harvest’ email addresses from many different public locations such as public web pages or online directories. Viruses or Spyware can also infect a computer and harvest email addresses from address books stored on that computer. If you suspect that your computer has a possible virus, download updated virus definitions, run a virus scan, change your email password, and notify your System Administrators.
