""Attention: me@mydomain.com
A virus was found in an Email message you sent.

Your message was sent with the following envelope:
(There then follows a brief path description of my message)""
In every case, the message itself contains a virus, which my Norton AV removes.
The weird thing is that I am now getting about 10 of these every hour, all from different senders, all with addresses that my mail has been "returned" from, none of which I've ever heard of, let alone sent email to.
The problem appears to be worsening too - there started at just one per hour, and things are getting worse.
All advice and help welcome - any fellow sufferers, my commiserations!

Your server is been hacked by a form-mail exploit, and sobig is using your mail script to send copies of itself. If you pay for hosting, contact your hosting company immendiately. If you run your own server, disconnect it from the internet now(!) and then get help to fix it offline.
Good luck!
