For about a week now I have been getting up to 50 messages a day in my inbox that state: Mail Delivery Failure" generated by "Ecelerity"? I seems as though something has hijacked my email. Is there any thing I can do to solve the problem? I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to the computer, and this thing is driving me batty.

Sure. I as a spammer set your address as the from in my spam mailings. It is easily done and very common. Spammers like legitimate existing email addresses to show as From.

What I the spammer do not want is all the bounces from the mail addresses that identify the spam as spam or the addresses that don't exist. I I use your address as from and you get all the bounce messages. Sure saves me from getting that junk in my mail box.

What can you do? Absolutely nothing! But wait the few weeks till they move onto another innocent party and leave you alone.
