I keep getting mail delivery failure messages in my bulk mail -- for e-mails I never sent in the first place.

Has my mail been hacked? What the hell?

I changed my password back when this first started happening, but that didn't seem to do anything.



As soon as VividCon is over, I'm hunting down Get Backers slash.



Mr. and Mrs. Smith. OMG! <3

I so need to vid that. permetaform & I might make it a joint project. If we can find a song.



Sydhead -- how's the House vid going?

It means that someone who has your email address in their address book has a virus which is using other email addresses in the from: field to spread itself and hide the source. It's a common annoying tactic and one of many reasons why people shouldn't use Outlook :)

Ah. Thanks for the info.

It doesn't even mean that the address was in someone's address book - if it's been online at all, then it's been picked up by bots and spammers who have it just put it in the Return email of their spam.

Good to know. Thanks!

You've got a worm. It's invaded your e-mail and is spamming your address book and possibly others. Update your virus definitions and run a virus scan.

I'm pretty sure that's not it. I don't have outlook express or eudora or anything like that. I access my e-mail through the mozilla web browser. The only e-mail related thing on my harddrive is possibly my brower cache.

Probably either someone else's address book w/ my e-mail got infected or a bot found my e-mail some random place online.

I'll run a virus scan, though. Never hurts to be careful, and I'm probably due for one anyway.
