Email from my address that I didn't send

[JCanyoneer]

This is the "internet headers" from the message options of an email from my
system administrator on a returned email from my address that I did not send.
I have gotten 4 of these in the last couple of days. I did windows updates on
my computer (running xp) and the server (windows small business 2000) and
still recieved this one today. Any idea what is going on or how to fix it?

I erased all of my email address information for privacy reasons.

There are more keys on the keyboard than you seem to realize. This isn't a

You can't fix it. You aren't doing it. The current spate of viruses and
trojan horses, when they infect a computer, sniff out the addresses on the
infected machine and then being using those at random as the sender to that
the recipient or the recipient's router can't tell where the mail
originated. The computer of someone who likely had your address in their
address book has been infected and now it's sending out copies of the
malware using your address as the sender. When it uses a bogus address as
the recipient, the router for that domain bounces the message back to what
it belives the sender to be: you.

Thank you Brian. I was afraid I had a virus.
