    Hello
    I have a question. I keep receiving undeliverable emails from "postmaster" from various domains. These will be multiple emails that I did not send.
    I have a registered domain with myhosting.com. I do not use this account for the smtp though. I this account setup on more than one pc. I have scanned for viruses,spyware and adware on all the pcs and all appears clear.
    Is there a way that I can tell where these are coming from? I assume that I have a virus or trojan that is sending or relaying this? Could this be an issue from the myhosting servers?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Here is a header from one of them:

    Hi jawdoc
    Try running a on-line scan from here....

    It may or may not be your PC that is infected.

    You could have a friend that is infected. This friend would have you in their address book. The virus is getting addresses from the address book to use as the destination and the sender. A common trick to throw people off the trail.
