That sounds like your father is using a template to send mail rather than
using the Create new Mail button on the Toolbar in Outlook Express. And you are probably listed on the BCC line in that template, which is why you never will see your address. Only the original sender (in his/her Sent Items folder) can see the filled in BCC line. -- Jim Pickering, MVP/Windows Mail applications Please reply ONLY to newsgroup. "ColTom2" wrote in message ... Hi: Now I am getting all emails that dad sends out regardless as to they are too. I have asked him to delete both me and his sons email address's from his computer and reboot. Hopefully he will do so this time to see if it makes any difference. Again when I open one of dad's emails that I receive and hit Cntrl+F3 to open Message Source data my email address appears up in the server's traffic, but nowhere does it list me in TO, CC. BCC, or otherwise. I am beginning to think more in what PaBear has mentioned that dad has an infected computer or corrupted OE. Thanks for all the replies. If I ever find the cause I will certainly repost. "ColTom2" wrote in message ... Hi: I am receiving confirmation of an email sent by a cousin to his dad. The strange thing is how can I receive an email confirmation when I was not an addressee? All three of us have different ISP's. My cousin has his email settings to receive confirmation of receipts, but again how can I be receiving a confirmation when he sends his dad an email and his dad opens it? In addition, all emails that his dad sends him I get a copy even though I am not an addressee. This is mind boggling and I sure hope someone can tell me what needs to be accomplished to prevent this from happening. Thanks |

Hi:
I had dad accomplish the following in trying to resolve his email problem of me receiving a copy of his email sent only to his son when I am not an addressee. I deleted both me and his son from his address book, rebooted, and had him send an email only to his son. I continue to erroneously receive a copy of same. He has Norton AV installed and he has their latest update of Dec 27, 2006 and he ran a complete scan and nothing was detected. His computer apparently is sending out emails that he has not sent to other addressee's. I called his DSL supplier Alltel and spoke with them and they also feel his computer has a worm/virus. I am sorta at a lost as to why Norton would not detect anything. No doubt PaBear is on target about a Trojan etc. My problem now is detecting it and eliminating it when Norton has not been able too. Any recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks, Tom "ColTom2" wrote in message ... Hi: I am receiving confirmation of an email sent by a cousin to his dad.

Hi PaPear:
Thanks so much for your input and assistance. If the machine was here I am sure that I could handle your recommendations, but being away is another story and I agree with your last comments. I have one other question for you. Since NAV did not detect anything, plus he apparently has no spyware/malware software installed, could spyware/malware cause this in lieu of a virus per se? I am sure that I can get Ad-aware Personal SE, Spy-Bot, Windows Defender installed and ran. I also feel that he has plenty of spyware most likely, but I do not know if removal of it would possibly clear this problem? Thanks again for all your help. Tom "PA Bear" wrote in message ...

I have one other question for you. Since NAV did not detect anything,
plus he apparently has no spyware/malware software installed, could spyware/malware cause this in lieu of a virus per se? Yes. And you should understand that Home/Small Office versions of NAV may be able to detect some hijackware but it cannot remove it. Roll your own Free Security Suite - CastleCopsWiki http://wiki.castlecops.com/Roll_your...Security_Suite Truth be told, the machine's owner (your dad? your uncle?) needs to address the problem. Trying to assist him without having hands-on access to the machine will be almost fruitless and VERY frustrating for all concerned. -- ~PA Bear ColTom2 wrote: Hi PaPear: Thanks so much for your input and assistance.

Hi PA Bear:
Just thought that I would let you know that you were 100% correct about the cause being a Trojan virus. I finally got with my cousin today and installed Ad-aware Personal SE, Spy-Bot S&D, Windows Defender, and the new program that you brought to my attention "A-squared Free". Thanks to you A-squared Free was the program that found the Trojan virus and now his Outlook Express is working fine and I no longer receive unintended emails from him. Thanks a Bunch!
