Though you might want to run a virus checker just to make sure *your* computer is not the source of these e-mails (if you aren't able to tell by checking the headers).

got infected by a virus. Many e-mail viruses nowadays contain their own mail server program, so they can send copies of themselves directly from the infected machine rather than having to go through a proper server. They usually take a random e-mail address from the infected machine and "spoof" themselves out using that address. That way it's nearly impossible to track down the real infected computer.

i get these all the time...mailer daemon saying that someone has rejected my e-mail to them...

i hate spammers and viri hooligan!

Nothing you can do about it. They didn't actually GET into your hotmail account - just used it as the "reply to:" tag on email. It happens to many people - don't worry about it; most spam blockers wipe it before your Hot Vikagra and Sofwhere Bargins and steamy s*e*chs website emails actually get where they're going. Just hope your relatives aren't on the list.

I recently got an invitation to see Hot Hot Hot Latina Babes from my two year old nephew.
