Has my e-mail account been hax0red?

This is weird.

As usual I get ~50 spam e-mail/day but now it's getting weird. Almost half of them comes from 'Mail Delivery Subsystem' and 'postmaster'. They basically say my e-mails have not been delivered. Of course all of the adresses are to adresses I don't know.
So has my account been hax0red and is being used to send out spam?

Maybe you got the klez hanging out still. Tell it to go back to the retirement home.

Your email account is either set as a reply-to address for some spam, or your computer is infected with a lovely virus using your computer as a mass -mailer.

It's the latest virus idea. They send "Mail Delivery Retuned" or some such, and there is a file there. The user thinks, hmm, who did I send an email to that got returned? I'd better check that virus.exe file that is attatched that I sent, maybe I'll remember

hmm, i was going to ask if it was a yahoo address... CTho9305 posted a while back about a huge bug in yahoo mail's system... dunno if it ever got fixed or not.

There is an attachement to almost all of them. I haven't opened them.

Weird... I got an e-mail from myself the other day. It was just a normal looking message but when you highlighted the message it had a bunch of numbers and letters. It also had the world DELETE with each letter having an individual link to an IP address which I traced and originated in europe. This isn't on outlook either, I use my web based mail from bellsouth. I know 100% that I haven't gotten a virus and/or had my password comprimised. So what could it have been? :/

Really just a one time thing and if it happens again I'm sure I'd look more into it. Also I know no one on my address book(all 5 of em) haven't gotten any weird e-mails from me recently. Damn the internet!

A friend of mine had the same problem and after I went over and looked at her computer, this turned out to be the problem.
