    I'm at work and I've just got a shít load (30) of system administrator emails saying (Heading) Undeliverable: Bin ich zu weltfremd? Ich glaube wohl kaum. Body of email says:

    Your message

    Subject: Bin ich zu weltfremd? Ich glaube wohl kaum

    did not reach the following recipient(s):

    Anyone have any idea what it could be? I checked my sent items and there are no records of any emails sent to this address. I've also ran a full virus scan on my machine with no viruses found.

    Somebody with your address in their address book has a virus, which is sending crap out and pretending to be you most likely...

    Forged headers. Most of the e-mail worms are forging the headers of e-mail they send using actual addresses. Your address will have been picked up from someone's OutHouse address book along the way. If you had the full header text of the e-mail available you'd be able to see the IP address of the originating computer.

    These notifications are very annoying and should always be turned off as they are generally false these days.
