If they haven't identified any malware on your computer, then there
probably isn't any, in which case Ted's second possibility is more
likely to be the cause. You may be able to construct some message rules
to delete most of the messages if you can identify common features,
though these are likely also to delete any genuine messages about
non-delivery of mails that you really have sent.

Norton, Registry Mechanic, and nothing has been identified.

One of two possibilities:

1 - Your computer has been hijacked and is being used to send out
spam; or

2 - Your e-mail address is being used by a spammer as the reply-to
address for their spam.

The solution to (1) is to remove the malware, and the solution to
(2) is
to get a new email address. I wish I could be more optimistic.

sent these messages, nor do I know of these people. Has there
been an identifiable virus or trojan? Can anyone help please?
