Why do I get notifications for e-mails I did not send? Product or Service: Lotus Notes

Overview You may receive e-mail notifications regarding e-mail messages you have never sent. There are two types of notifications:

· Non-delivery reports which are generated when the system receiving the message cannot deliver it, usually due to an incorrect e-mail address. · Virus notifications which are generated when the receiving system detects a virus or otherwise suspicious content and notifies the listed sender.

This situation occurs because many viruses and spam senders out in the Internet will use a "spoofed" or forged sender address for their messages. Spammers will often use addresses they already know are valid as the reply address. Viruses will use addresses collected from the infected machine. When the intended destination system generates the notification, it is returned to the address that has been used as the sender. If a GSK address is used as the reply address, the notification is sent to that address.

Action In general, if you receive a notification regarding e-mail you have never sent and your workstation has up-to-date virus protection installed, you can simply delete the notification.
