If you are suggesting this really is a scam then there is a very serious security issue with the Virginmedia/NTL mail servers as I am receiving a similar message from the same source address for every over-size test message I have sent to my Viginmedia/NTL mail accounts!!!


Maybe somebody else would like to try a similar exercise to the one I tried at Serial #5 above, i.e. send themselves an oversized message from another email account, and then report back the message they receive and the address it was sourced from? I used a googlemail account as the send addy for this.

Thanks
