I believe my hotmail account has been hijacked as I am receiving loads of "undeliverable message" messages from addresses I do not recognise and certainly have not sent that many emails.

My virus & security software is up to date and does not report any problems.

Any suggestions? As consulatnts we know everything don't we?

Best wishes to all
David

Hi David,

Your problem is not uncommon with Hotmail.

For instance, if someone has sent out bulk email (spam) on say 'surveys' or 'pharmacuetical stuff' and your email addy is near close to the 'target' the hotmail server will try and deliver to your account. Best change to googlemail for your private email like I did some three years ago and have had no problems. Unfortunately, once you have been the target of spam on that address, there is no escape route.

Best regards,

Barrie

David, Try changing your Hotmail password, that sometime "blocks" these spam emails. Steve

I suggest inbox.com

I have used for almost 10 years with NO issues. There is NO advertising, pop-ups etc etc. Great webmail if your working with bandwidth weakness

P.S. Seems HSE PEOPLE is full or trolls....

WOW.......Im responding to 4 year old posts........ I deserve a troll or 2
