What does it mean when I receive a "Mail Delivery Failed" e-mail stating that an e-mail I sent did not go through but the e-mail that was rejected was not at all sent by me nor do I recognize the address I sent it to?
The subject apparently said "Re: Thanks!" but WTF I didn't send any e-mail like that! Is there something effed here?!

That subject is almost as bad as if it were "Re: Sorry" or something!

If they were in your outbox, it would be a virus. It's still a good idea to run virus scan, or you might get the 'toast' like I did several weeks back. Still installing programs and recording CD's to my library.
Gah.

Sounds like what you've got . Has your pc been running really slow lately ?

1-It's SPAM
2-Somebody tried to send you spam, but your email blocker denied it
Either way, it's SPAM

give me your e-mail address, and without me even sending you an e-mail, I can make you recieve a "Undeliverable Message" from an ISP, stating that the message YOU sent, could not be sent
