I was just curious and I wanted to know if I should open it or not (sometimes the things in my bulk are not actually spam).
Okay, here’s the info.
Sender: Barracuda Spam Firewall
Headline: **Message you sent blocked by our bulk email filter**
Someone please give me their take! Thankyou!
Haha… I figured it was bogus and they would want me download that crap that I would just not be stupid enough to do so!
So that brings me to another question… if I did open it, could anything get past my firewall without me noticing? Or would the message require extra steps for it to be fatal?
Don’t open it.
You may have sent an email to someone whose spam filter labeled your email as “spam” or “bulk mail”. An automated message was sent to inform you your email did not reach its intended recipient.
It is still best to ignore and delete it, just in case it is a virus.
Delete it immediately
My guess – if you actually opened the message, it would read something like…
“Unfurtonately, your computer wont allow you too send messages to us.please run this file to be fix the problem”
And there would be a file attached – probably named something like “Fix.exe” or “Server.exe” (or just about ANY name)
IF you never sent a message to these people, then DON’T even bother opening the email – if it was ACTUALLY something important, the person would email it to you again
