Default is this a virus??

For the last 3 days, i've been getting countless emails like this (the Mailer Daemon crap)...I'm not sending anything out, so i know they're fake. I don't know if it's just spam or a virus...anyone know? :happysad:

no...it just means that email address is not valid and is bouncing back the email you sent to them....or someone else that is using your email to send them.

actually it could be spam or a virus, most likely spam.

You can disguise an email address anyway you like in coding, so most likely if you havent been sending out emails, then it is spam. Or there is a virus on your computer that is sending out emails from you account.

someone with your email in their address book may be infected with something that sends out email as the addresses in their address book. that's probably what it is, i.e. not your side.
