I woke up this morning and had 43 new "undeliverable mail" messages. Apparently I was busy sending suspicious emails last night from my hotmail account.
I have other email accounts and they don't appear to have been so busy, so I changed my password on the hotmail account and sent letters of apology (by proxy through my gmail account--one can only send a certain number of emails per day through hotmail.)
Anyone else have this problem? Will changing the password take care of it?
Danke...

They don't have to have your password to send the email. This happens all the time, don't worry about it. Messages like these would go to most junk mail boxes anyway. Your best response is No response.

I've got hotmail and like it. 
Was it undeliverable to you or them? 
I only get that when someone's mailbox is full or address is wrong. 
I think.

I only get "undeliverable messages" for mail I know I have sent and that possibly has an error in the address. Sometimes I get those messages for mail that gets delivered.
You seem to have frequent security issues like your avatar getting hacked etc. Do you frequently use public computers?

They sent it from my address (it was in my sent mail, too) and it was full of links--that was why I figured they had my address.

Undeliverable to them--I haven't cleaned out my address book in a while, and some of my contacts have changed addresses. (Lots of kids who have gone to college!)

I is possibly sent from a virus that will spam mail out from your mailbox. You might want to do a full system scan.

Does anyone know how to do that on a Mac, then? (I have another email address that wasn't hit, if that matters.)

I have no idea what's going on lately but all the sudden I'm getting several emails a day from so and so yahoo.com. It's all spam and at first it looks legit. it is making me really mad tho.:angry:
