Getting strange bounce messages?

Are you suddenly getting large numbers of bounce messages in your inbox from messages you didn’t send? If so, then you are most likely the victim of e-mail spoofing, and the unwanted side effect that comes with it, known as “backscatter”.

This problem has been around for years, but a number of higher education institutions have reported a significant increase in this activity in the last month, and UM has not escaped.

IT Central has published a support page with more details, check it out here.
