I have recently upgraded my NTL to 2mb and have 1 a 1gb per day cap.

I sent a text email last night to a friend and recieved a message from some
called "admin" saying that my mailbox was over the "high water mark" and
that I should delete some of my mailbox. This is through OE not web based
email. It also said that I was over my quota, but the email still got to my
friend as he recieved it. The email address for "admin" is
mailto:003101c5255c$b6e5ca0$38b1652@panicstation

not NTL, is this a piece of spyware, or is something intercepting my
emails??

Also the attachment sign is beside all emails even when their is no
attachment. How do I fix this.

thanks
John

John,
It sounds like you are not deleting email from the server when you download
it. In Outlook Express, click Tools / Accounts and on the mail tab, click
on the account and then click Properties. On the Advanced tab you probably
have a check in the box to "leave a copy of messages on the server". You
need to uncheck that. That should automatically clean your mailbox out. If
not, you can download many different mail utilities that allow you to access
your mail on the server and clean it out manually. I do not have any links
immediately available, but I'm sure someone can jump in with their favorite
utility.

With NTL you can access your mail account(s) via WebMail on their main page
and clean your mailbox out manually after making the changes to OE that you
suggested.

That box that you suggested is unchecked

The email address for "admin" is

I get an attachment sign next to all emails since AVG antivirus was
upgraded, it seems to think the certification is an attachment.

If you have no virus checker then there is a 99% chance that the message you
received is due to malware anyway.

Get spybot or adaware or both as well as a virus checker.

This must be the problem as I have AVG installed.

Then you either need to clean it yourself from the server using WebMail as
suggested above, or call your ISP for assistance.
