Spoofed/Forged Email

how does one fight it

[Elaine wajcman]

using our website mail address
(our mail goes through our website provider- we have several accounts such as info@..com - orders@..com we use Mozilla)
HERE IS THE MESSAGE:from : info@...com to: orders@....com

We attached some important information regarding your account.

Viruses found in the attached files.
The file information.zip: Virus identified I-Worm/Mytob.GR. The attachment was moved to the virus vault.
Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
-----------------------------

My question is
How much damage can they do and can they reach our customers with our email address?
Help anyone!

are these messages going to your clients or are they coming to you?

sorry, I can probably answer your question but I am just not sure of the specifics.

Are these customers with addresses on your mail server? If so then you need to make sure your anti virus on the mail server is up to date.

I have not receive complains from our clients, so far it comes to us.

[jatar_k]

if it is just coming to you then just delete them, don't preview them or anything

we get tons of the same kind of spam, they just run through the regular email addresses that may exist.

My understanding of this virus is that it is only going to "domain" email addresses. In other words, only folks using @yourdomain.com are getting them.
So it's really an inhouse pain in a$$ and not something that your customers are getting.
