Undeliverable mail comes from YOUR ISP, not some unknown ISP in Asia.

If you don't know who YOUR ISP is, you should make it a point to find out who
they are.

And a plug for Trend virus here. I've been using them since I found a FREE copy
on my win98 installation CD 7 years ago, and even with all the bells and
whistles off, other than Real Time scan, it still catches stuff trying to come
thru email.

If it's not an image file don't open anything that comes as an attachment.
