UPS and Tax Refund messages

brianb

I am being continually barraged by these two phishing and Malware emails (UPS Delivery and "Tax Refund Application" - as if!). The first comes in a batch of spam including the same one every time from Mariner Software so I suspect this is where my email address was obtained by the spammers.I run Sophos and erase and delete the emails and attachments in my library/mail/etc accounts but they raise their heads again like in Deliverance. Any ideas how to rid me of these troublesome trysts?

    Thanks.  I will try this.  Can't be Time Machine as my external hard drive has crashed and I haven't been running it for the past two weeks and it's not connected now.  Ditto read-only.  So I will try the other.  

    Just to be clear, after I trash then delete the email and the attachment separately in the User/Library/Mail/etc file, which I now see comes with five other spam emails surrounding it, within 30 minutes they all pop up again as detected, all with the same file numbers (e.g 49808 - 49812) as they had previously.  There is no email in my mail client although if I run a Spotlight search, the email will then show up in the Mail client and always as having arrived on 22 February, 2011.  So it seems as though there is soemthing within my system which is generating the suite of spam emails.

    I'll try the caches as well.  Thanks again.
