Looking for some ideas please !
I was recently accused of sending an e-mail (actually replying to an e-mail)
that's caused some trouble at work.
I actually didn't even see the mail never mind reply however i'm
finding it very difficult to prove this or at least provide an alternate
explanation.

I have no access to check anything personally right now but i'm told the
reply actually came from my account, IE not some command line SMTP job.

All i've come up with so far if that either somebody physically went to my
PC and used my logged in outlook client or somebody knew/guessed/cracked
my (easy) password and sent it from where-ever.

What am i missing ? Anything ? Are those the only possibilities or are there
other ways this could have happenned ? Maybe at the exchange level ?

Many Thanks..!

Was the subject of the message consistent with a reply? Do you use an
Exchange account? If so, check the permissions on your mailbox.

It is outlook with exchange yes. The subject was consistent also. By all
intents and purposes, it's a real reply from me. Just that I didn't
actually send it.
Guess i'm looking for a technical answer when really, somebody just used
my desk when i wasn't looking.?!
