| 1 | Everytime I open my emails I am getting hundreds of mails from this person, all saying sent by me.-------- mailer-daemon@googlemail.com how do I stop this. dellie1 - 2021-06-15 14:18:00 |
| 2 | I'm using outlook.com and I'd right-click on any of the emails and choose Security options --> Block gyrogearloose - 2021-06-15 14:22:00 |
| 3 | Check your sent items and outbox to see if there's anything weird. nice_lady - 2021-06-15 14:49:00 |
| 4 | Thats what i get if i muck up typing an address & it just comes back saying 'that'. 'daemon' is just a word not a person from what i know.. I only use my internet providers email system whatever that is but was the same when i used the old outlook express emails. Edited by yz490 at 3:23 pm, Tue 15 Jun yz490 - 2021-06-15 15:16:00 |
| 5 | A daemon is an automated programme which runs in the backround. It starts automatically when the sustem boots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computing) However you seem to be getting a bounce message: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounce_message tygertung - 2021-06-15 16:19:00 |
| 6 | I think the first thing I would do is change your email password. It could be that your email account has been hijacked and is sending out spam... king1 - 2021-06-15 17:41:00 |

| 10 | Someone is probably using your address to send spam. otherwise they are just faking their senders address with your email, and the recipients email is rejecting them, and they are going back to you. bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-06-16 22:17:00 |
| 11 | You must have something in your outbox. Check the email from the daemon and look for an address you are trying to send it to, and then look for that address in your outbox and/or sent items. tygertung - 2021-06-17 07:56:00 |
| 12 | Thanks to all. dellie1 - 2021-06-21 23:17:00 |
| 13 | Or they are originating from another PC but contain your address as the sender. Spammers often do this as a means of hiding their own identity and the emails contain a link to take the recipient to whatever site they are promoting. The many emails that you are receiving are bounces from dud adresses and as your address is given as the sender, you are receiving the bounce advices. Try searching your email address with Google and see if anything come up. Edited by tegretol at 11:06 am, Tue 22 Jun tegretol - 2021-06-22 10:59:00 |

| 16 | Deamon is your mailbox postmaster.. Usually comes up if a failed email address is used. If you have unsent mail that is in a loop waiting to send, find the email that is causing it and delete it terry012 - 2021-06-23 11:40:00 |

| 18 | Hi all, Thanks for all your suggestions. I am a elderly lady and this morning I recieved over 150 emails today only, 2 are for me the rest are rubbish. I have changed my passwords and still they come. One I have recieved is a very large bright read window, reported as dangerous it is hosted by.comcmsnnc3hr1gthzj2ybyypia.- dellie1 - 2021-06-25 13:07:00 |
| 19 | Firstly - do NOT EVER clik into these emails and click the 'unsubscribe' link which most of them contain. This will NOT unsubscribe you, (you never subscribed anyway right ?). What it does do is advise the sender that you are indeed a genuine address and it will simply result in you getting far more junk mail. Who is your mail provider ? nice_lady - 2021-06-25 13:32:00 |
