Hi Everybody!

I have the following problem with my OE. At home on my pc in the OE there is one main post office box, lets' call "A"
and 4 aliases "b,c,d,e"
Here comes my problem: I receive emails regulary spams, on alias "f", which is not in my alias list!
Even my webcaster couldnt' help me, how to solve the problem.
No virus, trojan, or spyware on my pc.
Do you have any idea, how it could happen, and what can I do against it?

Thanks a lot

Joe
 
How are you checking that the mail was addressed to "f"? Are you checking the SMTP routing headers or the "To:" header of the message? The "To:" header can be easily forged and has no bearing on the mailbox to which the message is delivered.
