RE: Re: [OT] e-mail account hi-jacked?

Rob,

Do a google search on email headers, this will give you the path the mail
followed, but my guess is that tha mail will originate from a far east
insecure mail relay and you'll get no response from your files abuse
complaint :-(

I'm currently at about 600 over the last week or so and it's only just
started to tail off :-(

Problem is that the mail protocols were developed when we all trusted each
other so there's nothing to stop these low life *****'s.
