    This is nothing to do with virus but I thought I would just ask anyway:

    I have been getting a lot of mail returned to me as undeliverable. The
    trouble is I never sent out the mail which is being returned to me. Some
    mail is entitled 'that movie', a title which I have never used, some is
    entitled 'my details' which IS a title I have used sometimes in my
    former scambaiting activities.

    I have checked and rechecked my machine for all worms and viruses - I'm
    clean. In fact I have completely reformatted ALL my drives and
    reinstalled from scratch just in case I had unknown malevolent code
    somewhere.

    Is someone using my address somehow? ( I have another web based address,
    besides my mweb address; citizenx@postmaster.co.uk) I'm quite puzzled
    about what is going on. Probably it is a coincidence but quite a number
    of the returned mails have been addressed to military addresses which is
    somewhat alarming.

    Here is a sample. I have never sent any mail entitled 'Your application'
    to anyone, let only anyone in the US Military.

    All of which is Greek to me, or nearly so. I would be most grateful to
    any virus boffin who has the time and is able to give me some advice
    about all this.

    Thanks
