Ok, I only use this certain email address for ebay and nothing else. Look what I just received in my bulk mail of Yahoo!
==============================
================================

From: "postmaster" <[email protected]>
To: my email [email protected]
Subject: Undeliverable mail--"end outer table "

The following mail can't be sent to [email protected]:

From: my email [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: end outer table
The attachment is the original mail
=======================================

First of all, I dont know this person. I have NEVER sent out an email with anything CLOSE to that as a subject I have used XXX's as the person's email id as I don't know if this is legit or what? It is very strange. Can't be a virus, virus engine is up to date and scan faithfully every day. No virus found

So, what is this? Anyone else have anything similar to this????

Why even take a chance. I received a dozen unsolicited emails a day. I automatically delete them.

Change your password now. Someone has stolen your e-mail address and is sending spam with it. I even was getting spam from my e-mail address. Once I changed my password, it stopped.

I will go out on a limb here and say this orginated from someone who you have had contact with in the past.

It is probably a virus e-mail sent by someone that has you in their address book. The virus picked you address as the from address and is trying to send itself to everyone else in the address book.

I get them also and that is the ones I get.
