You can run a full suite of products designed to detect malware; but, if the results are negative, you are probably the victim of forgery. Spammers like to use actual email addresses they are not authorized to use to fake a sender, as a way of fooling spam filters. They usually rotate the forged email address, and this will pass. Other than filtering the "MAILER-DAEMON" messages, and riding out the storm, you could either kill that account, or just not do anything at all. I've had a Yahoo! Mail account forged, and had spammers forge non-existent users to my domain. It is just the nature of their nefarious business. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum

Virus?
Those can be one of 4 things:
1) Some spammer is sending the original messages and using your e-mail address as the sender. 2) Someone else has a PC infected with a virus and the virus is sending itself as the original message and using your e-mail address as the sender. 3) The message is the virus itself, pretending to be a returned mail. 4) Your PC is infected with a virus and it has been sending itself. And this is really a returned mail that your PC sent. In cases 1, 2, and 3 above, the messages are not coming from your PC and are not going through your e-mail account. There's nothing you can do to prevent anyone from sending an e-mail with your e-mail address as the From header, just as you can't prevent anyone from sending a postal mail and putting your name and address as the return address. At this point all you can do is filter out the messages. Your ISP may offer some filtering at the mail server. To make sure that case 4 above is not the cause, you should check your PC with an updated anti-virus program. From a quick look at the headers you supplied, it's most likely # 1. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Nightsky" wrote in message ...
