That happens to everybody sooner or later. Somebody's PC gets infected 
with one of the worms that sends out spam to everyone whose E-mail 
address is stored in their computer, using the spoofed sender addresses 
of everyone whose E-mail's stored in the computer as well. Somebody's 
computer in the Mindspring domain is sending out Cialis spam 
purportedly coming from me. I get bounced messages nearly every day. 
It's not coming from my computer, and I can't do a thing about it. 
That's just life if you have other friends with your E-mail on their 
system somewhere and they don't have their PC properly protected. The 
spammer doesn't have to have your address, he just has to take over the 
computer of someone who knows you.
