Bounce Backs

Hello,

I am getting messages from System Administrator saying that an email I sent to so and so did not make it. But it turns out I never sent the email in the first place.

I get 2-3 of these every hour with different TO: addresses.

Thanks

The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator.

Yes, the return mail shows it is a bounced back spam spoofing your email address.

How can you tell?

Because the System Administrator is sending the email back to your email address.
