I am getting emails with parts of them being just a bunch of scrambled words and the rest of the email is about sometihng being a good deal to buy stock in, "i think". Sometimes there are a name with it, but when I reply my mail cannot be delivered. What is it ?

Spam. NEVER reply to spam.

Hi Leo,

Someone is sending me threating emails from the same IP but different email addresses. Is there a possibility that its being sent by a single user using different accounts.

Posted by: Siya at March 29, 2006 10:05 PM

Sure. It's also possible that it's being sent by different people behind the same router or orgainzational firewall, or using the same anonymizer service.

Could be many things.

Thanks for your reply Leo,But everytime I check the header its always showing the same IP address but different email a/cs. and when I tried to find out the exact location from that IP, I got an organisations address, Now in organisations an IP is assigned to a single user only. Can i know exactly who is sending those emails.

There's no way to know. You'll have to contact the organization.

Hi Leo,
I used to have an email address that I used frequently, but for about a month I don’t get to check my mail. This email address started sending pornographic materials and viruses to all my contacts in my address book.
I canceled that account two weeks ago but my contacts still complain of receiving viruses from it. Please help!!
I've contacted my ISP and complained, traced the i.p on the header to the same ISP i use. I would really like to know the address of the computer doing this, not the server used to email.
Help
