anything that I can do about it?</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=4>A:<SPAN

address. Odds are someone<BR>who has you in their address book is infested
with something that's<BR>trying to email people in the address book and spoofing
the From field<BR>with other entries in there. I get those all the time
since I seem to<BR>be in a lot of address books ;)</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><BR><FONT size=4>Lately I've been
getting mostly foreign language bounces, mostly<BR>Russian and some language
that I think may be Korean. For now I<BR>wouldn't worry about it, the
problem appears to be cyclic and will<BR>likely die down in a couple of
weeks.<BR style="mso-special-character: line-break"><BR

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=4>Otherwise about the
only thing I can suggest is to change your<BR>email address, but if I'm correct
the problem will just follow you<BR>when your infected friend adds your new
address to their address book.<BR style="mso-special-character: line-break"><BR
