Email was sent from the 208.109.199.53. Most probably by forging it as Shruti. Contact the vaibjain@gmail.com . If he don't take anyaction then network:Abuse. But network abuse is last resort. Email was not mis delivered. It is a new art of spamming. Last edited by Luke Skywalker; 08-13-09 at 01:40 AM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost | |

I thought you would figure this out. This happens all the time in marketing junk mails and normal mails too. I put my own email in the to: list and the rest of the recipients in the Bcc: list. PB | |
