asked on

recieved a bounced message from a recipient I never sent an e-mail too. Do I need to be concerned, or is this just spam?

I received a bounced message in my inbox today from a recipient that I never sent mail to in the first place.. Could somebody be using my Exchange server to send mail using my e-mail address? I have locked our server down from being a relay server, and I double checked the settings and everything still looks good. Could this be a virus? Or just somebody that used my e-mail address as the return address on a e-mail they sent out?

Thank you for your thoughts.

It's most likely that someone used your address as the return address but it could also be a virus.  Wouldn't hurt to run a virus scan on your workstation.
