Have I been spamming? I’ve been getting this “Delivery Status Notification (failure)” thing in my inbox, though I never send those email. Look at what “I have send”, the subject says, “The Whore Lived Like a German”. What the hell?
How is it for someone to use my email to send spam? Or is it my gmail has been hacked?

Saw your website from Project Petaling Str.
Don’t worry my friend. It’s not your fault. Anyone can send mail with any email address they want and recently a lot of email spread viruses are doing the same thing. And when the email gets delivered to a non-existence recipients, it’ll be, natuarally, be bounced back to the address specified in the From: field, which in this case is your email even though you did not do anything.
So don’t worry about it. Just ignore those mails. I myself get tens of such mails each day.

Uzyn, Your explanation seems illogical!
Can you kindly explain H O W did geminigeek@gmail.com enter the From field?

i think it’s quite possible, but im not sure. My wordpress has this notification thing, and whenever there’s comments on my blog, there will be message mail-ed to me. what’s weird is, the message sent is from the email address that you all fill when you all wanted to comment this blog. I think it’s the STMP thing-ey, but im not sure. :yikes:

I’ve just sent an email to geminigeek@gmail.com with the from field as geminigeek@gmail.com
It is possible. From: field is defined by user.

they filter spam from incoming and outgoing servers ler….so means if they detect spam on the outgoing it would be filtered as well….thus even SMTP servers are filtered

I get that at least every few months at work since I maintain our emai servers — it is very frustrating!
