    Hacked e-mail address

    I'm getting spam back to me that appears to be coming from my own e-mail address. I've even gotten an "undelivered mail returned to sender" which included the following

    This is the Postfix program at host snatch.music.ne.jp.

    I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

    Anyone got any ideas? I'm starting full virus scans etc on any machines the e-mail address is accessed from.

    I was hoping that's the scenario. It wouldn't get blocked by my spam filter coz it's my own address. Anyway I'll keep an eye on it. Cheers.
