I just got an email telling me that the email I sent to "someone I have
never heard of" has not been delivered because it contains a virus.

I apparently sent the alleged email at a time when my Mac was not even in
use (in fact it was switched off).
?????

Yes, because the virus on someone else's machine fakes your address as the sending address.

Repeat after me 'e-mail is insecure'.

Thanks,
Shay
