    1300 a day.. ? wow, that sounds like more than spoofing to me. Have you asked your ISP if they've seen increased outbound email from your account? Have you scanned your machine recently?

    Typically spoofing is random and you may get a handful of emails over a few weeks time. I got 1 the other day. But 1300 sounds too fishy to me. It almost makes me think that the emails are actually originating at your account. BUT that doesn't mean someone isn't using your email as a their ONLY return address. I can't exclude that, but it still doesn't sound right.

    Unless someone is maliciously targeting this address as may happen when someone retailiates against a spammer. If this is the case, there's not much you can do.

    But an infected computer is a definate possibility.
