Lately I have received a number of notices that my e-mail
is undeliverable to such and such e-mail address. But I
have never sent or tried to send anything to the e-mail
addresses listed. Is someone else using my identification,
to send spam? And if so, is there something I could/should
be doing to stop it?
I'd appreciate your help on this.
 
Do you have good antivirus software, kept updated, that can also scan
e-mail? You need some...however, note that a lot of the time, the
NDRs/bounce messages you receive are not due to messages that originated
from your computer, but from a virus infected computer that is forging the
from or reply to field. Also, some viruses come in as fake NDRs....
 
best case, they are using your ID. Worst case, they have
taken control of your computer.

Contact your ISP and disconnect from the net until you
have confirmed its not your machine.
