notices from different "mailers" telling me the mail to ****** was
undeliverable because ******* ! how can somebody send a message and make
it appear to have been sent from me and how can i stop them???? thanks
 
Hi,

They aren't doing it on purpose, Ronald. Your email is being used by a virus
to disguise itself (it's called spoofing). What you are seeing is the
rejects as the infected emails try to alert the sender (which it "sees" as
you, although it actually originated elsewhere). What can you do? Nothing,
except change your email address.

The bad news is there is no solution to your problem other than getting a
new email address.
 
You CAN'T. Someone who has your address in their address book has gotten
their PC infected and you are the unlucky soul who's e-mail was selected
as the "sender" from the infected PC.
