If no one else has said this yet, nearly everyone is getting these messages about bounced mail. The latest virus grabs an address from the infected computer's address book (always on a Windows machine, since it does not infect Macs) and uses that as the "From" address when it sends out copies of itself. I've had mail "returned" from an address I have never used myself, although it is still valid (on bigfoot.com). There is nothing you can do but delete these false reports. Your Mac is not infected. -- Microsoft MVP for Entourage/OE/Word (MVPs are volunteers) Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Entourage FAQ site: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> AppleScripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http://members.thinkaccess.net/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Scripts/> Entourage Help Pages: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
