Ninepatch Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 I received this e-mail from my ISP today. It blocked an e-mail generated by my personal website, forwarding e-mail to my ISP mailbox. Why it was blocked is clear. I don't know how to interpret this, however, and am not sure if or what I need to do. Any advice is greatly appreciated. COPIED E-MAIL: Attention! 000b6080@cpimssmtpa15.msn.com sent you an infected message with the VIRUS: Worm.SomeFool.Gen-2 It was rejected for delivery.

ThumpAZ Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 Sorry for the slow reply... I just got online and saw this. The original domain is either the msn address (cpimssmtpa15.msn.com) or not visible in this posting. I never really trust these blocked headers like this to have all the info. I can see where it was sent into your TCH mailbox, but not that it originated there. I would bet that the address information was an attempted spoof, and you or any servers you deal with are not truly infected with anything. You, more than likely, have nothing to worry about. Quote
Ninepatch Posted April 7, 2004 Author Posted April 7, 2004 Thank you, Glenn. Time for me to settle down and learn how to read this kind of communication, and learn more than I currently know about web-spread mischief. In the meantime, I'm really grateful for folks like you who are so generous with your knowledge. Thumbs Up Beth Quote
