Same here. Suggest you get Mailwasher 2.0 (free) - it identifies such things as spam and you can bounce them before they get into your PC. Gives NAV a holiday!
Got a link Simp ? Am using 'I Hate Spam' which has been fab until this recent bout. Funny.. only just switched to broadband.. wonder if there's a link.. do hope not.

It's likely that someone who has your email address in their Name & Address book has caught one of the various viruses that forge originators addresses, and you are seeing either the bounces from undeliverable addresses, or direct attempts to infect your machine. Either that, or some spammer is using your address as the originator for spam.
Either way, it's not your fault, and some improved mail filtering should sort you out.

today I've received around 60 fake 'undeliverable' emails. Normally 1-2 a day (usually stocks & shares offer, or things to make me a bigger stronger man).
What's going on ?!?

Just had the same....grrr....my ISP's anti-span didn't filter it out either as the 'mails are legitimate. - its just that someone spoofed my address as the sender so I get all the 'mail returns instead of the spammer.
Grrrr.

Not specifically - I just Googled for 'Mailwasher free download', I think. Before that I had a trial version of Mailwasher Pro, but of course it went phut afer 30 days and 2.0 is almost as good IMHO.
If you have no luck, mail me via profile and I'll send it to you.
