Okay, so my mother made a website a long time ago, and she's recently started working on it again. However, the last month or so, she's been receiving spam emails. Most of them show up as:
"Delivery Status Notification (failure)"
but they're all being sent from just a random string of characters then @ (website name). Like josh@website.com, jared@website.com, justin@website.com, and they're coming in literally every minute. She deletes roughly 3,000 per day right now.
I'm not sure if she's managed to pick up a virus somewhere that's trying to send out e-mails from her account, or something else, but I tried a virus scan once and didn't find anything.
Another thing, shouldn't there be a way to filter so that only a certain email (say cheryl@website.com) gets through, and not every prefix possible?
If anyone has any suggestions, it's driving her crazy, which is in turn causing her to drive me crazy, so any help is appreciated. :)
