sending unauthorized emails.

[Brent]

My outlook email is sending unauthorized emails. I am getting return notices
of emails I never sent.

This does NOT mean that your computer sent out the message. It is relatively
easy from spammers/viruses etc to make the e-mail address come from just
about anyone using any computer.

Check the content of the return notices. Does it say the e-mail came from
your e-mail address or just from your domain?

If it is from your domain then chances are it is a spammer. The mail bounces
back and you get it because your e-mail address is setup as the
administrator or catch-all for your domain.

How do I take care of it?

There is not much you can do.
