weird email-need help

[oxygen]

Hey all,

I am getting this weird email in my yahoo account. The following is the subject and content


From: "Internet Email Storage Service" <[email protected]>
To: "Network User" <[email protected]>
Subject: Error Announcement



This is the qmail program

I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses:



Undeliverable mail to [email protected]


Message follows:

..............but theres no message after this.............the size of the mail is around 140kb.........no attachments also.

Is this some kind of spam or virus(becaus of the size - 140kb) or someone is sending mail using my id ( i am not sure about this since my address is not in the header)
Does anyone have any idea/thoughts about this.....

It's an automated message

It usually includes either a copy of the message you sent, a warning that it will try again for XX hours or it will just warn of the error.

Assuming you didn't send the e-mail and no-ones used you account then it could be a spammer using your address as the reply-to so that the spammer doesn't get any e-mails sent back to him.

Just ignore the message.

Can't be a virus showtime if theres no attachement.

but how come its showing a size of 140kb, but nothing in it

It looks like someone has sent a bouncing email.

it's an email that will send to you, and as soon as you open it, it will bounce back to the sender and tell him details about you.

Its a common little trick to gain information, about someone.

For instance if i was planning on hacking into a website so i could deface it like a scriptkiddie.

I would send this type of email to the email addresse located on the page.

Once the unsuspecting person opens the email, it bounces back sending there ISP, Password etc

I think that's right not sure.
I just remember reading about it somewere.
So if i am wrong please correct me.

Anyhow cheers

It can't? Maybe its being blocked at the server side? I've been hit by a lot of e-mails similar to the one he described, and they all appear to have forged e-mail headers, from [email protected].

Your right,

I wasnt' thinking. The servers probably catching it, and not letting it through.
