I have recently (last few days) been getting many e-mails purporting to be bounced back to me. The bounced messages are all Viagra type spam. Two questions:
(1) How can I find out whether these messages are first generation spam pretending to be bounced, or genuine bounces of spam on which my address was forged?
(2) How does it come about that these messages purport to have originated from, are are bounced back to,
myname@dtn.ntl.com, when my real address is
myname@ntlworld.com? Out of curiosity I e-mailed myself at the dtn.ntl.com address, and it was delivered to me at my ntlworld address! I seem to have a valid e-mail address I knew nothing about.
I know that ogg raised the dtn.ntl.com question in another thread, and was advised simply to delete the messages as spam. But they had not been bounced, so my question (1) above did not arise in his case. Nor was it explained what dtn.ntl.com is.
All the best

Can anyone here help me understand what is happening?
