Hijacked email address

Hello chaps,

I've always had a penchant for spam - or that would seem to be the opinion of the various spamwinkers out there but in the last cuppla days I've begun to be cluster bombed with a new style of em!

My address is an "@excelairways.freeserve.co.uk" format and my inbox is full of returned emails I never sent and they are being returned to bizarre @'s before the excelairways portion of my address....... Used to get the odd one to my REAL email address that I never sent but never these fake ones?

There's obviously some form of mailer worm or other that creates these BUT is it on my system anywhere ( I have uptodate macafee tho no spam killer on it) or is it in freeserve?

Is there anything at all I can do about it or is that email address winked now! Time to move on again???

Heeeeellllppppp!!!!!
