BT Yahoo e-mail........?

Question

In my BT Yahooe-mail 'spam' just lately I keep getting messages:- From-Mail Delivery System and Subject-Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender. I am not too technical but if I right click on the message and then click on View Full Headers it gives me a load of information, that I do not really understand, part of which says it was sent from my e-mail address and where it was going(and delivery stopped??). I think that it was trying to send to orange.fr as a message says From:" Mail Delivery System"
Another one appeared yesterday and again was giving my address:-From-Mail Delivery System and Subject-Mail Delivery Failed:returning message to sender. In the header it gives an address and the message:-Received SPF none (domain of admin.ultimatemods.co.uk does not designate permittedsender hosts). After that comes a load of characters and then things like this:-
my e-mail address
X-Failed-Recipients: [e-mail],
[e-mail],
[e-mail],
[e-mail],
[e-mail],
[e-mail],
[e-mail],
[e-mail],
[e-mail],
[e-mail],
[e-mail],
Has my e-mail account been taken over? If so what happens next? Any ideas out there? I have the usual anti virus etc(Avast, Ad Aware and others) I generally only use this account(using disposable e-mail addresses as well) for correspondence with shops, finance etc and not for talking to friends and acquaintances.

Answer 1

Your computer has probably been infected with a virus or some other form of malware and your email account, and possibly those of your contacts, is being used in a spambot



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spambot



The emails you are receiving are the ones that are being blocked and so are being returned to you.



You can either ignore it and hope that it dies down which it often will or, if it is not your primary account, abandon it and set up another one.



Either way you will need to have the computer thoroughly cleared to avoid future spamming episodes.



Note that the email addresses listed are all from Russia (.ru)....

Answer 2

Just delete it, what it is telling you. Sometime recently you have sent an e-mail with a incorrect address, the system has got tired of trying to make sence of it and given up. Its like the mailman trying to deliver a letter with only the name on it and that spelt wrong, and throws it over the hedge.

Don't worry delete it.

Answer 3

will comply

Answer 4

Firstly you need to delete everything from your outbox and or sending and junk or spam and saved or drafts, then you need to delete anything that you havent used for a week or so in you inbox that you dont need anymore or anything that you dont particularly trust and then you need to change your password and then sign out and sign back in and you should be okay. your email has a bug somewhere in one of the emails and it is trying to send spam emails.
