I use outlook 2002 for my personal business email, and Lotus Notes for my "real" job email. In the past 5 days I have started getting 10-20 "undeliverable" emails in my Lotus notes account. Certainly looked like some kind of worm got me.

I preceeded to run Norton (corporate edition) with the latest virus definition (4/12/06 ver. 5), System Mechanic, and Web Root. All showed no threats. After looking at one of the returned emails I noticed it was from ccc.ledgesoft.com, thats my personal business domain but not my email account (levinson@ledgesoft.com).

Another strang thing is happening, I have 1 email in my outgoing mail box and when I click send and receive it says sending 1 of 4?


Any ideas sure would be appreciated.


Cheers

Have you tried sending any of the undeliverable emails via Outlook instead? It would be interesting to see if they then make it.

Don't ever put your email address in open text anywhere on the net otherwise the spammers engines will look for the "at sign" and overload you with junk mail forever. There are many ways to disguise it, such as:

happy dot harry "at sign" server dot net
