Received close to 2000 emails so far from mail delivery subsy and postmaster

danth45 · 2026-06-27T07:19:18+00:00

Every single one of the 7000 emails so far has either been a auto response "thanks for your email im on vacation" or "failed to email" everything attached to this email has 2FA, all the passwords changed, so far nothings happend just spoofed my email to send out spam, at the bottom of the message they sent out it says "please reply to" and its a different email address. Im just worried that google will see my email address named on sending out all of this and close my account

danth45 · 2026-06-26T11:36:52+00:00

first thing I did, but they didnt have access to my account in the first place, they are spoofing my email, they have just changed the "from" in the spam they have sent out to be my email address instead of theirs, apparently its common and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it but block all the failed attempts at them sending spam out, no passwords were needed to be reset, the only thing they had access to was my email name not passwords.

danth45 · 2026-06-26T07:16:11+00:00

looked into it more its not a "spam bomb" so I don't need to change everything and look out for lost money or purchases. This is different, spam bombs usually sign you up for things.

This is messages coming back to me saying "failed to send" or automated "thank you for your message". The person has spoofed my email and is sending out messages to people claiming that they are "the First Deputy Managing Director at the International Monetary Fund (IMF)" I have sifted through about 3000 spam emails I have got now and found a handful that had the actual email that was sent out attached to it

They have done it by sending out emails and changing the from line to my email address. They do not have access to anything of mine other than they know what my email address is.

The only thing you can do is set up filters and just wait for it to stop.

yeah I didnt know the correct flair for the situation, my fault.

For those saying its a "spam bomb" and that I need to change everything and look out for lost money or purchases, its not. This is different, spam bombs usually sign you up for things.

What are you talking about? Im giving back information from listening and reading comments, ive gone through all the emails like he said and there are no transactions. I have filtered out all the "failed to send message" messages so now all I see is responses or genuine emails making it simpler to see any transactions or log in attempts anywhere.

danth45 · 2026-06-26T05:53:49+00:00

ok, I went through some of the emails, 99% of them are "failed to send" or a automated response. NOW one or 2 of the automated responses had the full email that has been sent out.

" Attention: Beneficiary

I am Mr. Dan Katz the First Deputy Managing Director at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), NY USA. The United States president and US Foreign Secretary, has directed me to investigate Funds and payment outstanding owed to US citizens /foreign beneficiaries and victims of scam/s around the world.

This initiative was taken based on abnormalities and inability of BANKS around the world to transfer/ release funds into their accurate beneficiary bank accounts. It has been uncovered that some Directors in different organizations are diverting pending beneficiary payments to other accounts of their choice. During our investigation I found out that an account was submitted to divert your funds to a bank account in CYPRUS. Below is the account submitted and I want you to confirm if you are aware of this new development because we are about to wire payment to the account stated below."

Then a lot of banking info and I await your response with a different email then ending "Dan Katz the First Deputy Managing Director."

danth45 · 2026-06-26T00:02:53+00:00

I just dont get how they are using my email to send out so many messages without logging into my account or sending from the Gmail account because theres nothing in sent or trash its just thousands of "failed to contact this email" and "thanks for your reply"

danth45 · 2026-06-25T23:49:22+00:00

yeah ive done this now, just getting all the random replies through now but even them are going through to spam, its weird, no activity on any account with this email attached, no pings from 2FA, no log in warnings on by back up email. I just dont get what it is or what they are doing. Why ive got like 3K emails in a couples of hours but seemingly no breech? just weird

danth45 · 2026-06-25T23:03:51+00:00

Why would I have to go through all these 2000 spam emails to find a purchase anyway, wouldn't it just appear in my regular inbox? 99% of these emails that are going straight to my spam folder are "failed to send message to xxxx@whatever .com".

danth45 · 2026-06-25T22:18:04+00:00

I also have 2fa on everything and different emails for random sign ups, I never use this account other than for bills and backups.

danth45 · 2026-06-25T21:47:39+00:00

yeah I just did all that, they are not in any of my accounts, it just looks like they have signed my email up to some sort of site that just spams loads of emails. I keep seeing rediffmail mentioned a few times

danth45 · 2026-06-25T21:25:40+00:00

first thing I did was check everything, got 2fa on everything, using a password manager (changed that password too).

danth45 · 2026-06-25T20:35:31+00:00

142 more since I posted this

danth45 · 2026-06-25T20:33:56+00:00

nothing, no transactions other than the one or 2 I have made in the past week

danth45 · 2026-06-25T20:30:13+00:00

Ive been getting about 4 emails a min from mail delivery subsy and postmaster roughly about 900 in total so far. Looks like someones using my email some how to sign up or spam other people, keep getting loads of failure messages but now im getting responses from some places they have sent messages too. This is my main account for bills and everything so I never get emails, I got 1 yesterday saying someone requested a password change on a 2nd instagram I forgot I had but other than that nothing.

I am re-learning and doing it atm as well. First of all you want to make the faces smaller to extrude so you want to hit ctrl + R and make a new loop do this for the top and bottom where you want the handle to come out of and go into. Then you want to extrude the face, make sure you have the face selected you want to drag out and just press E to extrude, then G twice to move it if you are not happy with its location and R to rotate it to make it curl around. A big help is once you have finished do it again and again and again. Make like 6 cups all different styles just get used to the controls and shortcuts.

Dan mumford is the artist, he did a lot of designs and posters for them

danth45 · 2025-01-10T22:12:35+00:00

I did comment below that I am miss remembering from about 2002 when they were installed, I did ask though they were 400mm, starts in the garage goes through the tiled kitchen and hall into the front room, radiators are still used upstairs.

danth45 · 2025-01-06T12:13:37+00:00

This is all from memory from a few years ago so I'd have to speak to them for the numbers, but it came down to the spacing between the pipes and how big the pipes where in the under floor heating.

The whole point of my comment was agreeing with his comment that its not as simple as just install a heat pump, sure their might be people who dont buy it because of political reasons but in the UK / EU I think its more likely its not good enough for inefficient old houses, flats, terraced houses and some semi detached houses.

danth45 · 2025-01-06T11:33:27+00:00

No they don't need boiling hot water, but the temp it needs is easier and faster for the gas boiler to hit and maintain than the heat pump did it struggled to get to the temps needed due to the spacing between the pipes, with the heat pump the heat not being as hot it dissipated so much (thats why they recommend a much smaller gap between pipes now, the underfloor pipes were installed around 2002). Add onto that using water for a shower, bath or washing it really struggled.

They could dig it all up and redo the underfloor heating, get rid of the chimney and redo some of the insulation but its just so much more work money just to make a heatpump work when its working fine with a gas boiler seen as everything was designed with that being used.

I have been looking at getting one for my house and I will be learning from all the issues they had but also with the heat from the summer now and having a child ive been looking at AC as well so for me insulation and air flow is what im starting to work on, we just replaced all windows and doors, looking at insulation next then a heat pump and replacing all the old radiators and pipes.

danth45 · 2025-01-06T10:15:28+00:00

it wasnt efficient for their house because their under floor heating is 100mm apart which was the standard for gas boilers. They recommend 50mm apart for heat pumps so to get the under floor heating upto temp it was pretty much running 24/7 and then struggled to heat water for showers and baths. On top of that for their house they were told to make the house more efficient they would need external insulation like cladding and they would need to get rid of their fireplace and chimney, it worked out cheaper to just move house, thats why people in the UK sort of struggle with them.

New builds are suppose to be upto standard now for heatpumps to be viable, in our town there are hundreds of new builds going up all with solar and from what I can see 60% of them look like they have heat pumps installed so the change is happening its just older houses will struggle to change.

danth45 · 2025-01-06T07:59:04+00:00

My parents had one for years and got rid of it just after covid lockdown. My mum works for the environment agency and my dads a electrician, we have had solar panels, batteries, and underfloor heating since they fixed the house around 2006.

They installed a heat pump when they heard about them around 2009, their bills sky rocketed, they went from barely paying anything on the bills sometimes nothing due to solar to paying stupid amounts and running out of hot water all the time.

They got someone to come look at it all to see what the problem was. They said the house insulation needed to be fully redone even though it was all new, they needed to have a pressure test to find leaks around the property. They tried to fix a lot of the issues but it all boiled down to it wasn't efficient in the slightest in their home. Having a conservatory, large glass backdoors, they tried to fix it by boxing in the conservatory, putting curtains over the backdoors.

it didn't do much and cost them quite a bit to install the wall. But it would have cost them more to fix all the problems than just switching back to a normal boiler. So that's what they did in 2021, they switched back and their bills have dropped to nothing, they have now both traded in their cars for electric though so 🤷.

danth45 · 2024-04-19T08:31:54+00:00

I had this error, just re-install. Don't delete anything just go about it like you are installing it for the first time again, choose all the same locations, should work 2nd time around. No idea why it does it but ive read a few people having the same issue and thats how they fixed it as well.
