    Fake emails?

    Here's the story... My mom was complaining that she has been getting several emails from her to her, that she didn't send. I viewed the message source, and got what is below. My last name I replaced with ######, for security reasons.

    Fake Email is the email in questions, Real Email was one I sent from her, legitamitely, and the third one I sent from my Yahoo email to hers.

    I have gotten a similar email "from me" too, has anyone else had this happen, or know what this "postini" or that "forward (org good) [db-null]" is?

    Thanks in advance!

          That's what I told my mom, LOL

          So I don't need to install some sort of special program?

                  Err, my dad's computer was the one I reformatted most recently, my mom's was the one that got spyware on it and I had to call HP for recovery discs.

                  And yes I am in Michigan, no idea where WideOpenWest is located. Maybe somewhere in the Wide Open West?

                      So her computer is clean? tracing emails is complcated but full headers is the
                      best way. I used to get some weird emails, I would trace servers and then call friends and say you got a virus, the spam and virus filters seem to stop most of this now. A spamming virus will fake the from but can't fake the IP addy.

                          know what this "postini" is

                          It's a web based e-mail, some ISP provide it instead of useing their own

                              Well, all I can find is what I posted. How would I find the IP address?

                              @spuddog, does that mean that someone using postini sent the spam?

                                  looked like your isp is using postini as a filter,those numbers in your headers are the ip addys
