I got this email today and am slightly concerned that my email address is being used illicitly. This is the email I received from my host:

I've changed my email address parts to MYEMAILADDRESS@MYEMAILADDRESS.COM in case that wasn't obvious :)

Can anyone lend some insights as to what this is please, I'd be very grateful. Thanks all in advance :)

first of all, what email are you using?
yahoo, msn,outlook...etc

Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructions Glad to Help!

Your email address is probably being spoofed. Short of deactivating that account and creating a new one, there's nothing you can do.

Life's more painless for the brainless.

The email has been bounced backed by the server as undeliverable...

You could try sending the email from a different email account to see if it gets bounced back again.

Also you could try using the same account from a different pc to rule out the possibilty of something on your system doing it.

It's ntlworld.com, my ISP (now VirginMedia, in the UK). I use Outlook Express.

The email wasn't sent by me, if you look at the subject its for Viagra sales :I - this being the only email that's been returned of what potentially could be more I guess :/

Just wondering if you'd seen this before. I guess it's a case of either finding something on my system at home? To the person that said my email account has been hijacked - can you elaborate? Could I not just clean my system at home and then change the password?

Thanks for responses so far....

Are you referring to me? I said "spoofed" not "hijacked." There's a difference.

If you're not sure of the definition of each, Google the terms, or look at wikipedia.
