    I got the same message undeliverable from:

    "Received: from akomta3 (proxyip8.us.army.mil [140.183.234.122]"

    and have never sent to that address, Blunderov.

    My PC is virus-free.

    My suggestion, after a visit to "HouseCall" that says your PC is OK is to not worry
    about it.

    Take Care,
    Walter
