I'm getting tons of "undeliverable" notices in my e-mail for stuff I didn't send. I'm assuming it's some kind of spamming/hacking program some genius came up with. I can't just dump this e-mail cause it's my main MSN account & I can't get rid of it for another year. MSN has not answered my request for help - I'm thinking maybe they're getting a lot of this? I thought maybe someone here would know how to stop it.

Hi Jelohi
First I'm assume MSN is you Internet provider ? Next are you using Outlook or Outlook Express or a Hotmail Acct ? Also are you posting on any message boards and asking to be sent an email when it is answered ? People posting are having this problem. a link to postings http://hv.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=003oBM

Yes, MSN is my ISP. I guess it's hotmail, our primary account is @msn, any others you want are @hotmail. I have not found anything helpful in the hotmail account settings. I am not sending any e-mail from this account, I use my other hotmail account for that, but E-Bay doesn't let you use hotmail accounts & I get Saved-search notifications from them - that's the only thing I need to even go to this account for or I would just stop using it. These are spam e-mails for porn sites and stuff - nothing to do with anything I might have posted (which I've only done maybe twice). I'm getting about 10-15 of these a day & many will be the same message.
