Thread: Stupid E-Mail

  1. #1

    Default Stupid E-Mail

    It looks like my office e-mail is the victim of a scam....

    Someone sent a gazillion e-mail message with one of my e-mail addresses at the reply to address.

    Now I'm getting a ton of failure notice about this damn e-mail.....
    Hi. This is the qmail-send program at oproxy7-pub.bluehost.com.
    I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
    This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
    What can I do?? Do I just get to ride this out and get blacklisted for being the source of a unsolicited bulk e-mail campaign??

    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Sounds like I fared better than you today on the email front; I won the Nigerian Lottery... TWICE!

    I don't know about stopping the failure notifications, but you could potentially setup an e-mail rule to direct the failure notices to a separate folder so you don't have to wade through them.

    If its Outlook, setup a rule to automatically delete the e-mails. You will have to find an identifier like, who sent it, some text in the subject. Make sure it permanently deletes or it will fill up your deleted folder.

    Nothing you can do but delete the emails and hope you don't get blacklisted.

    POS, just send me your server name, userid, password, and your social security number and I'll take care of it for you.
