Someone in the world is sending out spam emails with my address as the sender - I'm getting delivery failure notices bouncing back to me daily. I'm using AVG & Kerio, always updated, & it continues when my pc is switched off for a couple of weeks, so it's not coming from me.
They're only using the suffix of my address, with gibberish as the prefix - eg, "
[email protected]", so I have set up the filters at orange/wanadoo whatever they are now to automatically junk them.
On Orange's help pages, they say to immediately forward one of these emails "complete with headers" to them as someone could have hacked my account. But, they don't say
how - ie, no address to send it to. When I phoned up, the spotty oik on the end of the phone didn't know anything about this, despite consulting colleagues, and their sole advice was to change my email account.
Should I do as they say? Or simply ignore it all? Any advice?
