Virus?

Post by Bob Jefferson » 03 Nov 2005, 08:48

A friend sent me (and other people on a distribution list) an email a few days ago. An hour later I received the same message again, then another and another. Everyone on the list is being sent the same message every hour on the hour and there seems to be no way to stop it.

She has up to date virus protection, so what's the problem? Any ideas?

Something to do with somebody having out-of-office auto reply on?

Dont think autoreply would cause multiple mailings with an hour gap. Something to with the clocks changing? Who knows.
