MoDeM_FoX Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I have noticed a new problem with Office 2010, Specifically OUTLOOK 2010. I have had some spambot send me e-mail that appears to be coming from my own e-mail address. This is usually ok, but in outlook 2010 it comes right through shows pictures and everything. Now heres the kicker, i tell the junk filter to block the sender (mind you its coming in as my own E-mail address) but, it still comes through to my inbox unfilters and displays pictures and the whole deal. I would say that is a huge security flaw considering that all kinds of things can be sent in HTML format. Just figured I would share that with the forum. Don't do anything I wouldn't do! >=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoDeM_FoX Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Don't use outlook? Well Duh. I was just saying, so far there appears to be no way to stop e-mails as coming in as your own address, and many, many businesses use the Office Suites.

Well, there is, set up a rule that if the email is from you delete it. Though if you send your self a reminder it will get deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Well Duh. I was just saying, so far there appears to be no way to stop e-mails as coming in as your own address, and many, many businesses use the Office Suites. Or you could set up some kind of firewall like Untangle with Spam filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRGRIM Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Sounds like more of an issue with SPAM detection at your Mail Provider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
