Default Virus?

I keep getting mail from a MAILER DAEMON that my message could not be

The actual message displayed is in Spanish, and I never wrote or sent
such a message.
What can I do about this?


You can run a full suite of products designed to detect malware; but, if the
results are negative, you are probably the victim of forgery. Spammers like
to use actual email addresses they are not authorized to use to fake a
sender, as a way of fooling spam filters. They usually rotate the forged
email address, and this will pass. Other than filtering the "MAILER-DAEMON"
messages, and riding out the storm, you could either kill that account, or
just not do anything at all.

I've had a Yahoo! Mail account forged, and had spammers forge non-existent
users to my domain. It is just the nature of their nefarious business.
