I'm getting infected mails...

Hi everyone,

I'm getting quite a few mail containing viruses in my account. I'm quite sure it's the same person. However, that person seems to be using a different identity every time he or she sends me a mail, which I'm unable to block. Anyway, can someone give me some tips on how to track down the person or do something to make he or she stop. I'm fairly to new to all these stuff. Thanks.

If you look at the email headers you can probably get some clues. Are they all coming from the same IP address?

Nothing quite as good as a good ip that will stop it from even getting to you. Spamassasin works well for me.

It depends on your email client, there should be an option somewhere to view the entire message header though.

If you're getting e-mail in Yahoo, doesn't your spam filter deal with this? Getting an e-mail with a virus within Yahoo within a web-browser is harmless unless you actually open it.

I don't use Yahoo mail, sorry.

Gmail has an option to "View Original" while Hotmail has it summarized.

This is some spam I just got. See the bold part? That's what you're looking for.

Thank you for all your help! I will try to find it. Also, is there any program that allows you to track email sources?

This can be tough. Basically, someone who was infected with the virus has you in their address book. It's using a different "From" address each time it sends another copy of itself. Good luck with tracking the IP address. Hopefully its an individual PC, and not a machine behind a NAT router/Corporate LAN.

Just curious, how can they change their identity each time they send me a mail?

There are anonymous emailers, SMTP relays, proxy servers etc.
