Strange Email

I have been getting this email for quite a while now and although it is in my antispam folder and concerned as to what it is if anybody has any ideas that they could offer up?

it comes from postmaster@idltechnologies.com

It comes into my email like this with an attachment that i assume is a delivery rebound file

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

info@idltechnologies.com

I have never been in touch with this company and have not even looked at who/what they are

How can i get rid of it?

Cheers

Pete

    it's a virus in the attachment that it is trying to get you to open

    someone you know probably has it on their PC and the email address you are getting is spoofed

    no way if stopping it unless you work out who it is

    Thats not always correct.

    The incorrect address may have been entered or does not exist.

    The attachment is usually details.

    If the attachment is over 2kb then just delete it to be safe rather than sorry.

    if it's always from the same address, then block that address within your email client. ;)
