Is this being spoofed ?

[iadom]

I have had several e-mails in the past couple of days including 2 in the past hour, they all have a virus infected attachment which my AV and ZAPro have blocked. They are all "apparently" from the same Ntl source however the IP seems to resolve to a BT account.
The headers.

Yes the address is most likely to be spoofed. If bt have a facility for reporting abuse fill that in with headers/ ip addresses etc. all the information that you have.

EDIT: abuse@btinternet.com or abuse@btopenworld.com

Yes - these worms always spoof the sender/return path.

Thanks for that, report sent to BT.

the email address looks like one of the old screaming.net addresses where you could chose the "humourous" domains as well.

I used to have one along the lines of letsmakelove@yourhouse.com

I have received another 3 from the exact same source, hywel.williams@ntlworld.com with the IP 194.73.126.114 as the first "FROM" in the headers. Apart from the subject line in the e-mail all other details are the same. That makes 10 in the past week from this same PC.

Maybe this guy has a virus and doesn't realise it?

I have sent an e-mail to hywel.williams@ntlworld but the IP in the first "from" line resolves to a BT account for someone listed as DDvideo. I have also sent a report to abuse@btnet. It is the first time that I have had 10 infected e-mails from apparently the exact same source, over a period of a week,spoofed or otherwise.

Should people be able to view email headers? Should firewalls have logs? Should the NHS increase coronary care funding? I dunno - I just give the Spam folder a quick glance and then choose "Empty folder". The spoofed sender won't have a clue so it's a bit pointless telling them. I get bounced virus-laden emails all the time. I never sent them and there's nothing I can do if someone wants to send emails as me - it's how the system "works". Maybe I'm too relaxed
