strange email
I woke up this morning, checked the ol' email account and saw this:
MailMarshal (an automated content monitoring gateway) has stopped
the following message:
Message: BB0071f338.00000001.mml
From: __________@hotmail.com
To: natasha_____@jbhunt.com
Subject: you have tried to steal!
Because it believes the message contains a virus.
Please clean the file and resend it.
MailMarshal Rule: Anti-Virus (Inbound) : JBHunt Block Virus
Please forward a copy of the e-mail in question to: jbhblockedmail@jbhunt.com
if you
believe your message should not have been rejected. (14)
i blocked out the real email addresses of course.
but i have never even looked at the jbhunt website or anything, nor would i ever have need to email them saying that they 'tried to steal'.
i'm doing a re-scan with avg right now. i keep my system very clean and up to date.
my father is a truck driver, so that's the only connection i can see. i may have left my account on their home computer's msn explorer checked with the auto log-in. but i don't think my dad would use my address to send stuff with out me knowing, but i'll ask him when i visit this weekend.
i find this odd...

What you're looking at is the result of someone that has you in _their_ address book being infected with a spammer virus.
Most of the spammer viruses out there grab an email address from the infected machine and use that to spoof the "from" field in the outbound email. If, when that email reaches it's detination, a detector picks it up, then it will shoot back and email to the "sender" which of course looks like it's you.
Delete it... This kind of stuff is an unfortunate by-product of spam and viruses.
