Hi
An internet friend of mine is having trouble with one of her hotmail accounts in that it has been hacked (?) as far as I can see. We are getting emails from it but not generated by her and as she runs a small forum it means that things are being sent to all the members from there.
What I would like to know and can remember from some years ago, I was told that if you add a spoof address to your address book/contacts similar to something like.... aaa@webber (or whatever) when someone sends a mail to the whole of the address book/contacts, the mail will bounce or not be sent because the spoof one will not be found. Does anyone know if this still stands as a precaution of stopping mails being sent remotely et al or was it just another urban myth?
Thanks for your help.
Chrissie
