squeak Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Does anyone have any idea why or what it means when you receive an e-mail with a spam address but it is blank message ? And no attachments? So, I get one of those, I click on it-then delete it. I see my drafts folder now 1 item in it-I'm thinking-WTF? I go to my drafts folder-and it is a draft of an email from me to the spam address I just deleted, that I mentioned above. Any ideas? This happens quite frequently, and I just want to know : Is this e-mail inflitration at it's finest? Anyone have any ideas what this is?
Trialbyfire Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 squeak, please don't open spam emails. Many contain bugs of different kinds and not always in attachments. I'm surprised that your ISP doesn't provide a better filter, where most of this stuff gets automatically routed to your trash or junk mail folder.
Author squeak Posted November 15, 2007 Author Posted November 15, 2007 It's awful! I open them because I am worried about deleting an important email, sometimes the "from" address actually sounds legit! Hmm, I should look into a better filtering account then.
Trialbyfire Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 The filter on gmail is pretty good. One or two get by, once every few months.
Author squeak Posted November 15, 2007 Author Posted November 15, 2007 OMG I hadn't turned my filter on, until just now. Thanks for the heads up TBF So....embarassing.
