I just received a message at my Yahoo address from postmaster@win19408, titled Delivery Status Notification (Failure). I Googled the address but didn't get anything. I apparently can't determine the message Properties, like I can on my Cox account. My Norton Anti-Virus has detected several infected messages on the Cox system in the last few days but I don't know if it is checking my Yahoo system. Anybody recognize this address as either legit or SPAM/virus? Thanks.

It sounds like it could possibly contain an attachment thta triggers the MyDoom Virus; DO NOT open any attachments it has. Delete immediatly!

As SR rightly says If you do NOT recognise the address delete it ASAP Smile My Yahoo mailbox collects dozens of these I label them as Spam and report them to Yahoo (I have used it for about 3 years)
The Yahoo Email system like Msn/Hotmail is known for attracting stuff like this MadAND... Of course if it's in the Bulkmail folder then it is unlikly to be of any personal interest? Roll Eyes So click the Smile"Empty folder"link to delete the entire contents Smile
