Has anyone experienced a rash of "undeliverable" emails apparently eminating from your mailbox recently.

On our club's website, I have set a "contact" to which browsers can send email. The email is in turn bounced to two of the executive of our club. One reports he received about a dozen "undeliverable" emails from our "contact" email on Friday. He sent one to me and it appears to have been directed to a server in Japan.

No one from our club uses the "contact" other than to receive mail from the outside world.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions as to what may be happening and what I should do to stop the process and prevent future "undeliverables".

thanks very much

Hello Dave,

Sounds like this could be a result of a spammer Forging that email address as the From: address in spam they are sending.
