another computer using my email

[Cindy Jo]

Help. Have tried internet company, but getting nowhere.
Have been flooded with failed mail deliveries that I
didn't send. Msg says couldn't send because of virus
attached and other reasons. Some show my address
as "envelope". Appears someone using my email as
a "reply to address." Being returned to me, but I never
sent, don't know these people.
Have disable 3rd party cookies in explorer. Have cleaned
up temp files. Looked for any type of spyware, but not
sure if that is problem. Only thing I know to do is
change email address.
How can msg be returned to me when I didn't send it in
the first place?

It is a virus on someone else's computer. If you posted your real mail
address to a newsgroup, then it most likely has been harvested and used
without your knowledge. It has been happening for months.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the SWEN virus, all mail sent to my personal account will be deleted
without reading.
