Subj: Re: [kl] virus mail
Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 19:29:45 -0400

I just talked to my ISP regarding the same bounced mail every day and
advertisements showing up, bypassing all filters, with my name in both
the From: line and the To: line. They checked all my recent email and
have determined that someone that has my email address was hacked. They
are now using every stolen email addresses to send out whatever they
wish, using my address in the From: line--- one of the addresses they
send to is no longer valid so it gets bounced back to me. McAfee is
updated automatically and the virus checker says I have no viruses.

Several years ago I started getting reservations for an upscale golf
course and it list me as the owner and CEO. We had fun with it for
about a week until I notified them.

Could it be that someone in the klarinet list got hacked?
Everyone should run their virus checker. If you have a problem call your
ISP and explain the problem. They may find out your address has had
suspicious activity lately and you don't know it.
