I'm starting to get messages, retured as failures, as if I sent them to
people I don't even know, most in other countries. Here is a sample message.
What causes these, and what can I do?

Hi there,

There are a lot of trojan horses coming from Germany right now. Just
Shift+Delete all those messages; they're not actually coming from your
computer.

Thank you! I've done it. Just curious-- how do they show up like that, as if
sent from me?

There is some computer someplace that is infected and has your email address
somewhere on the hard drive. It used your address to spoof the From field
on a message, so you got the failure notice.

Those can be one of 4 things:
1) Some spammer is sending the original messages and using your e-mail address as the
sender.
2) Someone else has a PC infected with a virus and the virus is sending itself as the
original message and using your e-mail address as the sender.
3) The message is the virus itself, pretending to be a returned mail.
4) Your PC is infected with a virus and it has been sending itself. And this is really a
returned mail that your PC sent.

In cases 1, 2, and 3 above, the messages are not coming from your PC and are not going
through your e-mail account. There's nothing you can do to prevent anyone from sending an
e-mail with your e-mail address as the From header, just as you can't prevent anyone from
sending a postal mail and putting your name and address as the return address. At this
point all you can do is filter out the messages. Your ISP may offer some filtering at the
mail server.

To make sure that case 4 above is not the cause, you should check your PC with an updated
anti-virus program.
