Not received a reply notification for few days :(


Recommended Posts

As per topic, I have not received any Topic Reply notifications sine yesterday morining early hours.

The last mail received was a bit weird, and I am attaching a copy of the text here ...

crypt_Tina i Tresnja ?T"?d

*Rna\My Connection\vblazek 8PcTftr

*Rna\Srce\vblazek.publiczg tresnja

MAPI MAPI

"ASTALAVISTA SECURITY GROUP : Information Security Portal - Microsoft Internet Explorer",13:49:26 Widi

It orignated from 'nboard@neowin.net' which is a different address (from what I can remember) to other topic reply notifications, I dont have any saved to compare to, but I am 100% sure the ordinary ones do not come from that address.

The header is as follows ...

I am using myrealbox as a bouncer, so thats quite normal, all other mails are being received fine, via the myrealbox, just not Neowin :(ils :(

Any one have any suggestions?

No attachment in the mail, although now I think of it and look at it again, the To: field is blank it generally has my email address, and the subject is 'email.hinet'.

I am curious now LE3, you say if it had an attachment you know what it is, what could it have been?

Spammers harvest email addresses, and then email other people. Another trick is viruses take Outlook email addresses and start spamming people with the return address faked (i.e nboard@neowin.net). People get spam from 'the mods' all the time, i shouldn't worry about it. You can be sure it's not us mailing you.

That is quite odd. Now that I think about it, I stopped using the topic reply notification feature because I kept getting notified of updates in threads that I never subscribed to.

@LE3, I don't like the message that your sig is showing ;)

All seems to be back to normal this morning :)

What is strange though, is that I received around 50 topic reply notifications, and every single one was timed and dated as 'Wed 05/05/2004 10:33:14', not that I am complaining it just seems odd that they were all sent at the same time, and some are regarding replys from a day or two ago.

Maybe theres a glitch in the matrix :)
