Have I been taken over?

wadewade

I've started getting Delivery Delay Notifications like the following. I think I've been taken over as a forwarding address somehow. What should I do?

One day I opened up my Outlook Express on starting up the computer and got about 800 of these failed delivery notices! Some spammer had sent out thousands of e-mails to random names @ an established domain with my address spoofed as the sender, consequently I got failure notices on all the ones that didn't exist. Fortunately it subsided after a day, presumably when the spammer moved on to use another victim's address.

So the odds are you're not infected, it's just that someone has got hold of your address. I made the mistake of putting it on my website!

Thanks, StephenR, after quite a few in the last two days there were none today. Either he's moved on or he takes Sundays off!
