Hey out there-- It may not be your 'putor. A few weeks back I got
similar messages. Updated my firewall, virus protection and spyware
programs and rescanned my hard drive. NOTHING THERE!! It seems someone
who had my email addy in their address book had the virus and when the
virus sent out email and it failed or got detected the bounced mail
showed my address and the notices came to me. My machine was and is
still clean. That's why your anti-virus program did not detect it.
