gmail spoofing

[critical_phil]

i rec'd about 20 return to sender emails today from my gmail account. upon inspection, the originator appears to be (example) [email protected] - which isn't me.


anyone else had the same issue? how serious of a security issue, if any, is this to me?

Welcome to email. Anyone anywhere can spoof the sender.

Let's put it this way -- it's a security issue, and a big part of why spam is so difficult to deal with, but there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Yeah, I get spammed by [email protected] all the time. I usually just respond "Unsubscribe".

it's sad, really......

[Widescreen]

[critical_phil]
