Hi everyone,

I have a Pc where, 3 users use this PC for internet access they all sign in with a different username. 2 of these users have and e-mail account and they use microsoft Outlook. The third users doesn't have and email he just surf the internet.

One of the users is been getting e-mails all kind of e-mails with the name of the guy that doesn't have a E-mail. How can this be? the only way is if he provide the e-mail address?

Thanks
Chavito

For one, do the 2 users that have email have internet e-mail accounts or do they have exchange accounts that you or someone else made? Secondly, someone could be spoofing their email to make it look like his. Thats not very hard if a person knows what their doing.
 
Exchange acount that our internet provider give us and has our domain name.
