Or you could report it to NTL in case they want to act on it.

When you hover over the link (not click it) it subscibes you to a photo site

Re: Spoof e-mail
 

FROM your company? ???

Re: Spoof e-mail
 

I had one yesterday.

Re: Spoof e-mail
 

hovering over it subscribes you :disturbd: , surely not :erm:

Re: Spoof e-mail
 

SORRY my fault i missed out the do...

as in do not click it

I'm really sorry.

I meant rather than it say ntl all over it there was my companys name.

so it looked like it came from my department (IT)

No point, unless it has come from an ntl IP address other than their MTA's, and if that's the case fill out a report here

It will be virus related, and the infected ntl subscriber will need to know about it. Using that form will enable ntl's AUP team o investigate the IP address and contact the infected customer.

HTH

It'll probably be the mytob virus or something similar. I'm getting upwards of something like 20 emails a day at the moment from support@mydomain.com or admin@mydomain.com etc... and that would be me :)
