Maybe my headline is not correct.
But lately I've got suspicious mails for the first time. My provider has very efficient spam+virusfilters. And only now and then I found something obviously spammy in the special spambox.
Last days I receive suspicious mails with subjects that almost make you click automatically like - Delivery_failure_notice - Faulty_mail delivery - Mail delivery_failed - Mail Error

I can read the mail safely because of webmail and of course do not download anything suspicious. But I did not know that they use these tricky subjects. ▲ Collapse

Yeah, that one's old. We've been getting hundreds of these over the last year or so.

It's also possible that someone spoofed your e-mail address

I get these messages from time to time. Some spammer was using my e-mail address as a return address, and undeliverable mail was returned to me. I even once got spam with my own e-mail address as the return address.
Eventually this will stop, for a while at least. Kevin

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I, too, have received dozens of these over the past week or so. (None today so far. Maybe it has stopped.) They are all of identical size (73K), all have attachments and are from addresses that are familiar (ProZ, ATA, etc.) but with an extra word added.
