This is definitely not caused by a virus of any kind. It is a deliberate act performed by spammers.
Spoofing is a big problem. Check the received lines in the full headers. Look for the first received header (should be farthest down the page). Then copy the complete message including headers into a new message. Send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (replacing the isp.com with the one you find in received), and cc it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the organization created to help police the internet). In the body, place a brief message explaining that your email address has been spoofed and that it appears to come from their (the ISP's) organization.
The responses will be automatic. You won't get any personalized responses from either of them unless there is some further information required (or if you have not gotten to the originating ISP). If it's a US ISP, it should take a week or less before you stop seeing these returned mails.
Every ISP has an abuse address.
No they don't. I don't. I have one for lemlists.com because I need one for lemlists.com, including a [EMAIL PROTECTED] address. But I don't have one for CWIS.biz.
I send to the following addresses always: abuse@, postmaster@, root@ for each server mentioned. I also mention that I am a system administrator and this kind of thing not only unprofessional but illegal.
