I'll get "Failed to deliver" messages in my hotmail account on rare occasions I didn't send the e-mail that wasn't delivered. It's a "bot" trying to use my hotmail account to spam another account. An e-mail that you didn't send likely is this sort of "bot" spam.(Of course, "bot" is short for robot, as in automated thru lines of code in a virus some criminal in China worked up.) .

3 That usually means that you have a virus or trojan that is reading your address book and sending spam (or more infections) to everybody in it using your address as a source. If you have your own address in your address book, it'll send to you as well. Do a good malware scan and see if it picks up something.

4 What JBENZ said is possible but unlikely. The vast majority of spam "from yourself" is just forged headers in the email. Unless a mail relay is protected, you can just connect to port 25 and put whatever you want in for headers and body (provided the header fields are sufficient to deliver the email).

If your email provider allows it, look at the full headers of the email - you'll most likely see that the email did not come from you but some other location (some spam-friendly email gateway/provider). The most useful are the Received: headers which show the actual route taken by the email.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
