Over time you will probably see a lot of these. A message was sent
to this location in which your name was "spoofed" as the
"From" address. Whoever has the virus that sent this
location the message has your name in their address book. Since the
message was sent (by another computer) with your name spoofed as the from
address, the failure message was sent back to you.<br><br>

"From" addresses, I got this message the other day, supposedly
from the address " PageUp_Virus_Gateway2@pageup.com.au" with
the following message:<br>
Content violation found in email message.<br><br>
"From: tonyb@writeme.com<br>
To: deborahm@pageup.com.au<br><br>
File(s): game_xxo.pif<br><br>
Matching filename: *.pif "<br><br>
I don't have " deborahm@pageup.com.au " in my address
book, never heard of her and I don't own that ".pif"
file. What's going on here?? Anyone have a clue?<br>
PS: my Email client is Eudora 6.01 and I use a local ISP. My
computer is a Gateway EV700 running Windows XP<br><br>
