Yeah I am not worried about myself. I can skin me a real big delete button. I just didnt know about the email spoofing. Maybe no big deal I just others might want to know that their addys are being used.

Spoofed addy email virii is a common occurrence......if I had $1 for each one I received I'd have retired by now. $50 to $100 a day is good enough for anyone....

It's a virus that someone or some people that use this site have on their PC's. It harvests the addresses and sends to a random one from a random one. This is why you get replies saying you sent out messages which you didn't. Unfortunately there's not a lot that can be done except the infected PC's owner realising it and cleaning it.

Yeah. I have been checking so far, but both virus scanners and ad-aware have found nothing.

moral of the story, use raw text based emails. hehe.
really though, run yourself a good virus scanner and sit back comfortably and know you arn't the one doing it. it would be comming from anywhere.. WC's end, another users, even your ISP if they arn't taking proper precautions. i get them all the time as well but i know i'm clean.
