yes and yesg

This is frequently caused by either spammers and/or viruses sending email
spoofed as your address, and you are the one who gets the resulting bounces
and returns from the server. I've noticed recently a number of spammers
using 'notify on delete' options, which may help them to verify an address
(they get paid more for verified addresses when they sell their contact
lists)

From time to time I receive an email from someone (not necessarily the
same person) telling me that a message from me was deleted on such and
such a date. The subject is *Not read: the original subject*.

I don't always recognise sending the original message in the first place
and I don't see why I should be notified of the fact that it has been
deleted from the recipient's computer. Is this virus-related or does it
happen to everyone?

Thanks

Rob Graham
