PostWhat the WTF is going on with my e-mail!
by Lime » Tue Apr 19, 2016 3:18 pm

Hi All, particularly the more technical types...

I just sent an e-mail to my partner with an attachement - a .pdf, just about 200Kb

I got the following back in my mailbox about 2 seconds later:


- These recipients of your message have been processed by the mail server:
REDACTED@btinternet.com; Failed; 5.2.2 (mailbox full)

Remote MTA be21.bt.int.cpcloud.co.uk: SMTP diagnostic: 552 RCPT TO:<REDACTED@btinternet.com> Mailbox disk quota exceeded

Who on earth is this guy, and why on earth is he listed as a recipient?
(Clue, it is not my partner).
Have I been violated?

Sounds like their inbox is full. They might have forwarding on.

I think I didn't explain very clearly. This stevewebb2@btinternet.com is nothing to do with me. I've never heard of him.

Why would he get a copy of an e-mail I sent to someone else - the only reason I know is because on the mailbox full indication.

It seems to have stopped happening now so either this mystery interceptor of my e-mails has emptied his folder or bt have found a glitch.

Would just like to have an idea of why this might happen...

One of those pages on Google lists him as a broadband engineer? Maybe contact BT and ask why this is happening?

Thanks, I think I will - a little bit worrying!

Reminds me of those DVR boxes used in CCTV systems all around the world secretly sending snapshots to China.

https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2016/0 ... -to-china/

A delve into the (un-updateable) firmware for certain models by a security firm reveals:

But weirdest of all, the thing is capturing still images from video feeds and emailing them to an address that appears to be hosted in China.

Turns out it was a glitch on BT's end and has been resolved now (as I already saw).

The address stevewebb2@btinternet.com is a bt mail server address.

Thanks for the tips!
