    Kindof Odd

    Its strange I log into my email today ( havent checked or sent mail in days ) and I see this

    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
    This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).

    A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients.
    This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:adrita@hotmail.com

    The thing is i did not send any mail to any hotmail user because i dont even know anyone who uses hotmail. Anyone know of a worm or anything that uses the address adrita@hotmail.com? I checked around a few places but came up with nothing.

    could be a strain of klez on the email providers server. Email them to tell them of this.

    Klez is an odd worm. It doesnt have to reside on your machine! It tends to use random from addresses on one users addressbook. Therfor any failed ones get returned to you.

    No it doesnt. on some variants of it it generates random emails with well known email domains. Others picks them up from someone elkses machine. Klez has about 15 or so variants.

    redgore, so do you think it is my computer or the mail server that is infected [if even is] or just someone that has me in their address book [and if that is the case if someone else is infected wouldnt I only get the bounced message if I or mail provider was infected] because I havent accessed my email from home in a while I mainly check at work wich is a corporate lan with its own email system. So if it was this computer or network that was infected wouldnt it most likly have sent the mail using our smtp server instead of my email provider wich i check here threw webmail?

    Could be any of those. If its webmail its doubtful you have it. that narrows it down to the providers server or someone who has your email or a random person from anywhere in the world

    to add to what redgore said

    klez uses a random name from the phonebooks of infected computers to use as a senders address. if the mail-to address no longer exists, it gets returned to you as the return address address listed, and not the infected machine.
    Bukhari:V3B48N826 “The Prophet said, ‘Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?’ The women said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind.’”
