I keep getting these failed attempted e-mail notices. These are people I have not sent e-mail to recently. It looks like someone is using my IP to send out worm attachments via e-mail. Am I right? I have run Norton and adware and nothing comes up. Any ideas?
Here is a sample of the e-mail I keep getting:
