Whats up with these messages? Do I have a trojan on my system that is
sending email? My virus software doesn't pick up a virus so whats up here?



Thanks in advance,



Tulpas

Hi Tulpas,

It means that someplace your email address is being spoofed by the virus.
The reject notices are coming to you from servers that intercept the
infected emails. This does not mean that you are infected but rather it
means that the bug picked up your email address from someone who was at one
time and is now using (or rather "a"busing) it to try and fool others into
opening it. There is very little you can do about this besides delete the
notices.
