    Wierd Email

    Hey all

    My boss came to me asking if this was spam or what. IT seems as though somethign or someone is sending email from her account.

    Check it out.

    Yes, that is spam.

    executivehomesvs.com is a known spammer.



    EDIT:

    And Google doesn't like them:

    As long as you did this to one of these, the least of my little ones............you did it unto Me.

    We get alot of those. It's not SPAM itself, it is a response to SPAM sent by someone spoofing your boss's e-mail address. We've been seeing this more and more lately. Usually, after 2 or 3 days, they'll stop getting these responses.

    Also, GFI has a patch out now that properly marks it as SPAM. Tell your IT people to update their filter.
