Receive a daily mail from "WEB.DE Mailer Demon". I didn't sent any mails that weren't answered. Header seems strange to me: Simply the quoted words, no mail address. Text in French or English (normally I use Duch). Different topics. Do these mails really com from Mailer-Daemon (usually written with hyphen, and followed by e-mail address)? Strange is they invite me to click on a link which is partly my own address. Tx.

Hallo Fred,
It is just a spam message.
Do not try to react.
Now do this:
Shutdown Safari,
Open Safari while holding the Shift key, the spam massage will not be there;
Now open Safari History, Clear history, all history;
Open Safari->Preferences->Advanced, check the "show the develop menu...";
now in Safari->Develop->Empty caches.
Now all Safari caches are cleared and the popup message is gone.
Lexipex: This isn’t Safari involved, this is a bounce message from a mailing list list server.
The bounce might be caused by spam being sent out in the list, or itself spoofed.
But it’s quite rare to see a daily spam like this.
There’s quite possibly something here precipitating this.
Which may be made clear by that text attachment.

Which’ll work. But this could be a legitimate outbound message from this user or from an associated mailing list is bouncing back. Which would imply a legitimate message is not reaching its intended recipient. Which might be good to know. Though sure, just blocking the bounce will work. But what’s in that attached text file would be interesting; whether that’s a legitimate message, or spam, or otherwise?
Hi, MrHoffman and Lexiplex. Thx for your replies. Me too, I suppose it's bounce mail, but it seems a bit strange to me because it looks like - but isn't quite the same - as other Mailer-Demon messages. So I shan't open anything in these mails. The few people I usually mail with haven't had any troubles receiving/reading my mails. Today I didn' get any. So I'll wait a bit and see. Once again Thx.

Thanks, a brody. "De" is quite normal here as is the French text. I live in the Duch speaking part of Belgium in what is called the "Europe-triangle": behind the baker's shop our street is no longer in Belgium but in the Netherlands (Maastricht). Over the bridge at the other end of the village we come into the French speaking part of Belgium. And 30 km from here we are in Germany (Aachen).
I will be there the end of may. Drielandenpunt.
I am dutch, then lived in Belgium, France, Schweiz, and Catalunia. Now in Davos.
But (grand)children in BE and NL.
.de are German domains.
The attached text file is probably the message that is bouncing. Does it appear familiar?
Ah yes,
block the message in Mail then, with Rules.
It is very probably spam (bought stolen email addresses).
You should never react to spam, that confirms your email address, find the home page of these people if you want to know more.
