Windows XP
Outlook Express
Norton Internet Security

I have received the following emails (or similar) a number of times:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
No1
Subject: Test ScanMail has detected a virus!

was not delivered to:

  steve@xybanetx.co.za

because:

  Recipient user name steve (steve@xybanetx.co.za) not unique.
Several matches found in Domino Directory.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
No2
Xybanetx mail system has detected a virus during a real-time scan of
the
email traffic.

Date: 24/04/2004 01:59:06 AM
Subject: Test
Virus: WORM_MYDOOM.J
File: hrty.scr
From: = I have removed my correct email address=
To: steve@xybanetx.co.za
Action: Uncleanable, Quarantined;

Scanned by ScanMail for Lotus Notes 2.6
with scanengine 6.550-1004
and patternfile lpt$vpn.867

----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------

I have never sent an email to steve@xybanetx.co.za , and that email is
not in my address book
I do not have 'ScanMail' or any Lotus products
Norton Internet Security automatically removes a 'threat' on receipt
of these emails, and no problems are indicated on a full Norton anti
virus scan

Is there any way I can stop this happening in future, as this occurs
almost every day?

Thanks in advance.
