I keep getting these emails at my yahoo mail box. They obviously want me to download the attachment (yahoo doesn't display them, you have to download). Needless to say I haven't! I haven't sent any email for yahoo to bounce, hehe. Is somebody trying to do something to my puter???
Breeze, this is yet another way spam mail outfits test out their mailing lists to cull the bad addresses. This one is really ingenious, and I've received it too. Basically, they send you a piece of email that looks like it's a returned piece that you sent to somebody. (Of course you didn't.) They send this identical piece to the zillion addresses on their list. The no-longer-active email addresses bounce back to them, and they're then able to clean their lists. Doc
Ummm interpret - ahhhh, sounds like maybe you don't open attachments from strangers...? Me neither. It came from a server named "SABRINA" in Irving TX on GTE. A one night stand with SABRINA?
Doc is right, and they used a corp server which has a enormeous database. They used someone in Verizon email address, piggybacked to the mailserver and got a free ride. Irving is a suburb of Dallas TX, Verizon Corp office is There. It use to Be GTE before they merged with Airtouch,Vodafone, BellAtlantic and Primus. The New Company became Verizon. You'll notice many instances of GTE which, the server is linked back to Tampa, FL Location. The MailAdmin broke the heavy msg usage because of the server overloads as evident of the msg code. Breeze you were on a email list sometime ago as the reason it attach to you and kept you for bounce back... Excellent way to shoot a Virus or Trojan Horse to everyone...............
LOL, okay, it was a dumb psychology joke. There is a very active research area called "attachment theory" -- pioneered by Bowlby and others -- which really covers the range of interpersonal connectedness (but most often focuses on how children attach or fail to attach to their caregivers even as infants). For some reason, "I avoid attachments from strangers" evoked a detached schizoid image, which I thought was sure to get a guffaw. I just read this to my wife, and she agrees that I'm out of my mind if I thought for a minute that anyone else would find this funny. Oh well. Doc P.S. to backspace: very interesting!
LOL, not up on the latest psych talk. Detached schizoid? We gotta find you another head doc to rap with.
I get a virus/trojan sent to me every couple of weeks. That email address is in a gazillion address books. I figured they used the "returned mail" gimmick to entice people to open the attachment. Not doc's kind of attachment, mind you
