I'm getting spammed email directed toward other dz.commers

I hope that this isn't a repost. I'm getting email messages directed to other people with dz.com mail accounts in my dz.com mail folder.

Yesterday I got one for vanillaskygirl

I have set up the advanced spam filter as suggested for emails including "spam" in the title. Is there something that I can do?

I'm about to head out to sea soon and don't want my dz mail to fill up with junk.

my too I get spam for freeflyfreak and others with simular first names. I never open anything that I don't know where it came from no matter what the subject has in it...that is how you get viruses. Unless I know it is safe, but most of the time I just delete them, but I am curious as to why I am getting other people's spam.

there is a virus going around that will pull names from address books of infected computers.

it puts one name as the sender and another as the recipient, and sometimes BCCs a bunch of other folks (this is probably why you're getting other people's spam).

I've heard about that one too. It's funny though, I got one the other day addressed to you about viagra.

Using MS Outlook, right?

It's evil. The majority of decent mail programs don't allow VB scripting like Outlook does. That program s really the cause of most of these "from friends" email viruses.

Get loads of 'em on my email addy, but none are sent from it. Eudora rocks :)
