Title: Re: your e mails sending out crap Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, August 20, 2009, 12:35:54 sorry about that, any tips from geek like people on how to stop this, it was in my vacation options, have deleted it and not sure what else i can do? 1) Login to hotmail and change your password. 2) Within hotmail select options, then more options. Under 'manage your account' you need to select 'send automated vacation replies'. Once there, delete any message within that box and select the 'don't send any vacation replies' option and then save. 3) Run anti-virus software you have and then malwarebytes and spybot in that order. You can find download links to these here (http://thetownend.com/index.php/topic,33605.msg679024.html#msg679024) 4) Buy me a pint if it works.

Same, I didn't realise it was happening :( Although I have nothing in my vacation options. let me know if it happens again and I'll probably just change my email address. Title: Re: your e mails sending out crap Post by: BANGKOK RED on Thursday, August 20, 2009, 19:07:16 Not happened to me.
Why not? I feel left out. Dirty dirties. Title: Re: your e mails sending out crap Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, August 20, 2009, 19:34:54 Same, I didn't realise it was happening :( Although I have nothing in my vacation options. let me know if it happens again and I'll probably just change my email address. The one I got from you the first time in August was a spam message, the last one was blank. I'd run some anti-virus and the other programs just to be safe if you have disabled the vacation setting (make sure it's disabled as well as no text in the box). Title: Re: your e mails sending out crap Post by: mexico red on Thursday, August 20, 2009, 19:38:27 also sort out your replies, my spam was in that as my signature.
Title: Re: your e mails sending out crap Post by: Luci on Thursday, August 20, 2009, 20:13:26 How is this happening? Is it Nigerians playing with our technology since they keep telling me I've won money!!!! :D
Title: Re: your e mails sending out crap Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, August 20, 2009, 21:23:43 It's either something dodgy on your computer or something dodgy on the hotmail server.
Title: Re: your e mails sending out crap Post by: Batch on Thursday, August 20, 2009, 22:03:19 Is it definitely from Luci or spoofed, anyone checked the headers?
