    It is called "spoofing" Roger. The same thing happened to me around Christmas time. A friend of mine e-mailed me saying that his address book had been compromised and so probably all the addresses in his book would be as well. He was right. I had loads of mail returned to me which I hadn't sent.

    I reported it to AOL and had a nice mail back saying that I had been "spoofed" and ways of getting rid of the problem in jargon that I didn't understand as I am not very computer literate. Sometimes I was getting twenty per day, a lot of it sourced from China. I sent it all to my spam box every time. It went on for a couple of months but has now stopped, touch wood.

    Google "spoofing", there is lots of info on there about it.
