OK, it's much worse than I thought. Someone else is sending out a ton of spam email purporting to come from my domain. It seems to be the style of spam that I've been getting recently (prescription meds stuff) so I assume that's where they found the domain name. Now the question is, how do I get them to fuck the hell off and stop doing it? I figured out that it's not being sent from my computer because after disinfecting it, I shut it down for a bit as a test and logged onto my email using webmail and my office computer. And I've just received another bounce message stating the original mail was received at 9:06 EST (i.e. 14:06 GMT). While my laptop was turned off, and had been for a good hour. On the plus side this means that I can turn the laptop back on, reassured that it's completely clean of mail sending crap but on the minus side, what the hell do I do about this?

So many people are now using scanning software on their servers that bounced mail is becoming a significant problem. It seems to me that, under the circumstances, this bounced mail is basically advertising - Look at us, we blocked a virus! - and therefore little better than spam. If you are bouncing viruses, it is now adding to the problem, not solving it.

Oh, it wasn't Klez they were talking about, but its just as relevant...
