I received a virus through Outlook and my Anti-Virus stopped it. When I looked at the return _path of the address this is all it had,
<>
Nothing else so I was wondering how did they do that?

It's a worm.. How did they do it?
hard to explain.. they made some kind of html/java/mail virus that opens when the email is previewed... all possible
1st: No I have no idea about Your virus
2nd: You dont have to BUMP Your topic after 15 minuts or so!
3rd: Change Your signature image, the maximum allowed size is 495X150 Pixels

The email headers were probably faked. They could've put your own address in there, and it would've looked like it cam from yourself.
I had this happen before. Not a virus, but I did get one spam email to my Comcast account, from my Hotmail account.
It really is a hard one I mean they masked their _path.Originally posted by Wolfmight@27 September 2003 - 21:00

How can that be done, I mean what program do you use. This is what spamers use but how do they do it?The email headers were probably faked. They could've put your own address in there, and it would've looked like it cam from yourself.
When I received the e-mail, it automatically opened it self and it had a virus but Norton caught it. I received it 4 times a day and they were all caught.
The real question is how did they mask their _path to that <>?
You can go into properties/advanced/advanced in outlook express or outlook and get the real path with all headers.
You'll see the ISP's smtp or pop3 headers first but look harder and it should show the return path.
Ok thanks. Next time it happens I will show you the details and message source.
My questions still remians unsweard. How did they do it?
Any OS pretty much can send email through SMTP with the headers you specify. If you enter < > as the return email, yhen that's what will show. You can't hide the OS or origin though. The local host or domain will still be registered when the ISP forwards it unless you use a true annonymous proxy.
I think you got it I remember very well that all it had was the " <> ". I did go into properties and like you said but I remember there was no return address at all and it said "No reply address" so it's definitely a true annonymous proxy.
Do you know where I can get a annonymous proxy so I can send e-mail like them or how can I learn to do it. I am on a dial-up. I am not going to use it on anything stupid. I don't want to be blacklisted, I want a clean future. I just want to test it on my self and learn about some more so I can defend my self if it happens again.
