I'm receiving strange email. Is it because I have posted in this newsgroup?
Just an aside--you should consider modifying the information
your newsreader sends about you. There are lots of evil people
out there who harvest addresses from all Usenet groups by
simply collecting the
information in headers.
Usually people add "nospam" or "removethis" or use the format
"me AT domain.com".

I have been getting email for different addresses all saying the same
thing,
plus they have an attachment with them that I do not open.
This is an example of what one says:
***beginning***
"Hi.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to deliver your message to one or more
destinations.
Undeliverable message to
"
***ending***
Is anyone else getting messages like this?
I have ran all kinds of virus scans and they say my PC is clean. Any feed
back would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
