Who's email address is this???

Mikek2@aol.com?

I keep getting an email notification that an email is being returned to me because it is virus infected. The subject of the email is "price" but there's not text with it. I figure someone with this email address and mine has a virus because all my machines are clean. I'm thinking that it's someone from this forum.

Thoughts?

Chances are near 100% that your e-mail address was attached to the message by a virus, and that it (your e-mail address) was pulled at random from the machine of a nit-wit who opened an attachment ("it says I Love You, so how could it be a virus?"). It's probably not even from someone who knows you, but from someone who received a forwarded e-mail with your e-mail address in it, or from someone who visited your Web site (if your e-mail address is listed anywhere on it).

IOW, the only thing you can really do is mark those messages as spam, and have your spam filter trash them... I get a boatload of them purporting to have been sent from my webmaster address, but that's strictly an alias--there's no "account" from which such a message could have been sent!

I also refuse to open any and all emails from this site since it was hacked. You just never know what those guys got.....

Thats the new way they try and get you to open it so it can worm into your system. i had emails coming back to me like that as well all i did was put those as well as the return email in block email and no spam depending on what email you use and that will stop it.
