Email Issues

Hello Guys

I have been having issues with my Email, I keep getting spam emails off myself. I have changed my password numerous times and it still happens and i obviously cant block it.

I originally posted into the Malware removal section and my logs came back clean and was advised to post here..

Any ideas?

My Laptop is a Dell Inspiron N5010
Win 7 Home 64bit service pack 1
Intel i3CPU 2.53ghz
6bg Ram
250Gb HD
1 GB Graphics

Cheers Guys

How do you deal with your email - in a browser or in an email client?

TheTick · Oct 16, 2015

In a browser.. Chrome in fact

I occasionally check it on a public wifi such as starbucks on my phone, but that is rarely

The emails that appear to come from you are spoofed.
Go here http://www.ip2location.com/free/email-tracer
to trace the location of the spam then use the IP information to block emails from that IP.

Hey Plodr

Cheers for the response..

I dont know how to use that program sorry..

However it did lead me to finding a domain name in the source code so i placed it on the block list.. will this work you reckon?

Click to expand...

Yes. I block both by domains and IPs.
It's always good to view full headers in a spam message and see what you can block to help stop the flood of spam.
