Spammer using my hotmail address

Post by middle_aged_dutchman »

Some #@$*&! has sent a spam message using my hotmail address as the sender. The subject line was something like 'Care to meet girl next door'. I have not seen this message myself, only some notifications that 'my' mail had bounced.
Has anybody here received this spam? I would be very grateful if anyone can let me have the original 'message'.

It might just be one of those computer generated addresses.
I've just had one returned to me by my ISP because it was bounced, the actual senders email address was only marginally similar to mine. Since the original contained a virus I've asked my ISP wtf they are playing at since they claim to filter for viruses.
