I check my e-mail settings (Outlook Express 6) and
I did have the "break apart" checked, so I've
unchecked.
I also deleted the Inbox.
Now I'll see if this continues.

I used MS Malware Remover & Micro Trend's Spyware
& Virus Checker.
I used to have McAfee but have switched to Micro
Trend.

re the sending: I sent to several people using
the BCC area. Not
everyone responded that they got 50 copies of the
e-mail, but I
did get 50 copies back that were bounced from an
e-mail provider
which I had sent to one name.

I got the original e-mail from another person and
I only got one copy.
It had an attachment of a ".wmv" ???

Did you intentionally send the message and it
resulted in 50 copies to
the recipients? If the message included an
attachment, then it may be
that in Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties,
Advanced you need to uncheck
the Break Apart option.

Or did you get back returned mail that you didn't
intentionally send?

Those can be one of 4 things:
1) Some spammer is sending the original messages
and using your e-mail
address as the sender.
2) Someone else has a PC infected with a virus and
the virus is sending
itself as the original message and using your
e-mail address as the
sender.
3) The message is the virus itself, pretending to
be a returned mail.
4) Your PC is infected with a virus and it has
been sending itself. And
this is really a returned mail that your PC sent.

In cases 1, 2, and 3 above, the messages are not
coming from your PC and
are not going through your e-mail account.
There's nothing you can do
to prevent anyone from sending an e-mail with your
e-mail address as the
From header, just as you can't prevent anyone from
sending a postal mail
and putting your name and address as the return
address. At this point
all you can do is filter out the messages. Your
ISP may offer some
filtering at the mail server.

To make sure that case 4 above is not the cause,
you should check your
PC with an updated anti-virus program.
