Birflu Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 From time to time I get e-mails from ISP's and Addresses that don't seem to exist, the messages make no sense whatsoever and the TO: address is not mine but some concoction. Any clues as to what this is and what should I do about it. It seems the more I report them, the more I get. They don't seem to have any real purpose but to be clutter. Many Thanks Birdflu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
