Hiiiiiiii........

I am almost getting twice daily 100 emails...all classical spam...makes no sense...i use primarily rediffmail account...(cannot change as in touch with so many people through this email from last 4-5 years)

seems someone has gone after my life...what to do...its so tough to see which one or two is most important out of 200 emails (197 are junk on an average) and ensuring not to delete It...

Just check all of them and add those email adrs to the blocked list and will not recieve emails from theat adrs they will be blocked or deleted at the server itself.HOpe this helps

Inform the rediffmail " contact us " and give them a complaint.

Have u tried installing spam softwares ?

dood
i think u shud just label the mail as spam bcos they seem to have the same src.
also u r talking abt the safe way of writing ur email id..... i think the hackers r smart enuf to, now, detect this way of riting email ids as this way has gone old. i wud suggest that u get a new email id and whatever e-business or registrations to websites u do , do it there.

First please go to My Settings in rediffmail then go to tell your interests and uncheck all the boxes. Even if you leave one box checked you will get lot of spam from rediff.

Couldn't understand why the notification comes from hotmail while you are using Rediffmail. Also you must not be sending that amount of e-mails to get so many failure notifications.

Some people try to hack ids. These are their mails since I also recieve em.

The spam need not neccessarily be from rediff. Most of the spam comes from other sources.

So it'd be wise to inform the customer care for rediff.

while i was reading all replies here and thinking of implementing all that was said...luckily (i hope its not temporary)....i have stopped getting all that emails....

[blacklight]

dude !
all those delivery status notification mails means mails were sent from ur account to another account and bounced back - which means ur account is hacked OR some one 's sending malicious stuff to u .

so i suggest u change ur password and ur secret question and all other authentication details.

[expertno.1]

just block it and report the webmaster

[sincereheart]

even using a simple rediffmail is so confusing...

nah I dont think so its spam, your machine might be infected by virus....

coz these kind of mails are sent by virus generally so I will suggest scaning the machine using online scanners like Trendmicro's Housecall

btw also check the IP of few mails and see if its coming from same IP or not...and also cross check that IP with ur...

Aray but deep if i'm not wrong then he is accessing through webmail & not downloading & sending it through a email client which would happen locally & thus maybe provide a chance for a malicious virus to attach itself & keep spreading.

Imho if you can show us the email headers of a few of those emails we could determine as to why its happening.

[Deep]

hmm, I think its Beagle.J which is of 12KB...

So its possible trojan created by this virus is collecting email addresses on the machine somehow and sending virus email using it own SMTP engine..

or its also posible that, if he is in the office / college then some machine in the office is infected and sending virus to everyone in its addressbook....

I think scanning the machine online once is the best option...

and tracking IP is also must..

[digen]

Yes thats correct.Cant rule out those possibilities mate.

[vignesh]

Its spim I guess
