Hey there, folks!

So, my '[email protected]' email has become caught up in some sort of virus - I get multiple "Delivery failed" messages (about 10-20 a day) when I haven't sent anything at all.

This problem happened once before at work on a PC, but the tech guys handled it then. Is this a virus that can be taken care of on my hard drive, or is the email address itself caught in some spamming loop through some other source?

I've been searching forums and googling this issue, and I've been getting some results for the PC, but not for the Mac. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, y'all!

Do you have this account set up on a pc anywhere? Feels almost as if your account is being used for spamming. Anyways, if you are worried about viruses, get something like ClamXAV.
