E -mails

Gary Dunn · From: near Camel City, NC

I am getting a bunch of e-mails that are addressed to someone else. What is going on here?

They may be spam that was sent using BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), which is the same method used to send to Unknown Recipients. The spammers usually list one recipient, but the rest will not see that their name is on a recipient list, unless you view the source code.

If you are having problems with lots of spam, read my MailWasher Pro page.

Wiz,

I use Trend Micro; will this do the same thing?
