I just received an email from a company I spoke with yesterday at the job fair (and gave my resume to) so it is plausible that this mail could have been real rather than a virus or spam. The from says it is from cyberguard.com and the headers indicate the orginator was cybg.com which is apparently another of their domains. The text of the email is:

Subject: Administratively Prohibited Mail
Body: The contents of the mail with 'Subject: ' have not been forwarded to you as they are Administratively Prohibited.

Any ideas on this? I am thinking it could have been legitimate and I should reply to the sender inquiring what was meant to be sent.

of course,for the auth code, you need to prove to them who you say you are by supplying a routing # to your bank.

Somebody at that company tried to send you an email, but it was blocked by their own outgoing email filters. The filters were probably setup to notify sender, and recipient. Email human resources and ask them to resend whatever they were trying to send you, (sans the profanity, or whatever).
