Ok. My Boss's computer is sending random emails from outlok i presume
to random people, not on his contact lists. They have no real rhyme or
reason. But since his email is a catch all we are seeing the returned
ones and today he got a nice little screw off letter. I have scanned
with spybot and nothing. Any ideas? Here is the text its sending...
Rest assured that your boss's computer is most likely NOT sending that message. Instead, there is some PC "out there" that has been compromised and that had your boss's mail address in its address book. That compromised PC is sending the junk, using your boss's mail address (and the other addresses that were on that PC) as the sender. IN other words, your boss's mail address was hijacked. This is de rigeur for spammers now and there's little your boss can do to stop it. The problem, again, is not on his PC, but he's seeing the bounces generated by the spam being sent to non-existent addresses because the spam uses his address as the sending address.
