The most ironic I find these days are the ones that start out "Get rid of SPAM now".
As for the Systemworks emails, there was a write-up a few weeks ago, forget by who
(could of been CNET), in which this was addressed.

IIRC, there's a page on the Symantec web site that explains the
situation. Basically, they don't send spam, but their software is
widely pirated and sold as &qu

Symantec hasn't succeeded in shutting them down, whoever they are) doesn't reflect
well on Symantec.

I know all this but doesn't peer to peer mean that two end-users are connected like in

SpamNet doesn't work that way - it uses a central database where the SPAM signatures
are stored.

First of all, check if you have viruses on your system.

Have you actually read the headers in the attachment? most spammers
forge the "Mail From:" or "Reply-To:" headers. You might just be getting
the bounces from the spam that went out.
To check, look for a "X-Originating-IP" header in the original
he IP-Adress in the Search Box.
After klicking "Go", you should get the name of the provider of the spam
sender.
Usually, there is an e-mail address mentioned, where you can report abuse.
Write an E-Mail to this provider and try to describe what happend, don't
forget to add the IP-Adre
password right away.
2. People search your account in the yellow page, chat room or something
else. Then they setup an account using your account info like First Name,
Last Name, e-mail address, and return path to do SPAM. In this case, they
do not know your account name and password. You can find
Last night, I got an undeliverable mail notification from an automatic reply
saying that my mail was unable to deliever to so and so (invalid e-mail
address) with an attachment.
The attachment shows that the mail was sent out using my mail account.
