Unrecognised Email Addresses

fido · Sep 5, 2005

I have an email account with Tiscali but have only ever had one email address on that account. I check my emails with Mailwasher and have recently noticed that some of the spam/virus mails are addressed to 4 different email addresses that I've never heard of. I emailed Tiscali about this but they say they can only investigate if I forward copies of the headers. I don't allow these mails into my inbox but I suppose I could copy / paste them from Mailwasher? When I check my account at the Tiscali website it only shows my normal primary address, not these spurious ones.

Is the part after the @ symbol your user account ( and email ) address?

dont know how Tiscali handel user account names so if its similar to Wanadoo then anything after the @ symbol is your user account name.

Its possible that Tiscali's mail comes trough to you no matter what the name before the @ is, so long as whats behind is the same eg.

User Account name ~ @joeblogs.tiscali.co.uk
...so it may not matter whats before and could be,

bubble@joeblogs.tiscali.co.uk
bobble @joeblogs.tiscali.co.uk
Click to expand...

and both will come to same user email inbox.

YES you can copy the headers from inside Mailwasher, just right click email and choose View Complete Header then copy and paste the text into new email for Tiscali to check into.
