I'm on a roll here tonight so I might as well ask all my
questions.

I know this is getting to be a big problem and I'm
wondering where I can find out more about it. Some nice
little creep out there decided they liked my email address
and is using it to send junk mail and maybe viruses. I
know that because about 2 months ago I started getting the
failed messages returned to me. Seems they haven't
figured out how to get the failed ones returned to
themselves YET. In the last couple of weeks they have
started sending ME email using my own email address. I
never open them but have forwarded them to my hosting
company and to the Att. General's office (after telling
them the problem and telling them that the messages would
be coming their way for review).

There must be some companies (or governments) that are
researching this issue. I would be more than willing to
send them these emails if it would help. This issue is
going to be worse than the viruses if these people learn
how to get these emails returned to them instead of the
legal email owner.

Thanks. Leesa
