Pete,
I just got a failure message from a server which stated that a message from
me was undeliverable as the address was invalid. From the time stamp, it
was obvious that I could not have sent it as my computer was down for
replacement of a larger hard drive at that time and I never heard of the
person to which it had been addresed.
73,
Frank K4VMO

clutter daily - and Steve Gibson's grc.com "probe my ports" says this
computer is in full stealth mode. ALL the ports are sealed up tight and you
can bet it will stay that way. So I don't think the source of the problem
comes from here.

open it.
