Hello, I run Exchange 2000 and have a user who keeps receiving the
same message every 66 minutes from a sender outside our server. The
message is not spam and it is from someone that we correspond with
daily. The sender is an individual user who just uses SMTP through her
ISP. We've eliminated anything on her PC causing the problem because
the messages keep coming even with her computer completely turned off.

So, the message is either stuck in our Exchange server or in some
intermediate server between her PC and our Exchange machine. We run a
very basic setup here and I've not been able to see that message
waiting in any type of queue.

Here are the headers with a few minor changes for privacy reasons:

Is it possible that the message is being sent by a third party who is
infected with a worm (trojan, etc.) of some kind and who has your
users' email addresses on their system?

Is the IP address of the sending computer (67.169.24.61) the same IP
address that your "individual user" has on her home internet
connection?

(She can easily check her IP by going to the website
www.whatismyip.com from her home computer)
