ridiculous e-mail message

Jun 22, 2004 10:31PM PDT

Frequently when I open up my e-mail I get the following type of message: "I'm sorry to have to inform you that I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following address:
Undelivered to bsuzjmzthm@yahoo.com". This is a concocted e-mail address. I never sent any e-mail to this address. The sender of this ridiculous e-mail does not have a valid return address. This type of e-mail is annoying to me. How can I stop getting this type of ridiculous e-mail? Thank you.

If this is creating a problem maybe Mailwasher or some other software will help scan these before downloading to your machine.

Sorry there is not a better plan... this seems to be the sad state of affairs on the internet with so many people just causing problems for other users. Sad

Good luck,

Glenn

If you have Norton AntiSpam installed click on Norton Anti-Spam on your OE toolbar and select 'This is spam'. That email address is now blocked. The big problem is that they use MULTIPLE addresses and there is always more than one person sending the same junk. This doesn't stop them - it just slows them down.
