But they were not controllable because they came not from the @adicio domain, but from the emails addresses of the individuals. Resolving this took three days out of my life, interrupted my business, made it necessary for me to spend $160 on Microsoft Office 08 for Mac because the attack managed to damage my microsoft identity and disable not only my email but also Word. All in all a total nightmare.
