Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.

Email account being used for spam
I pay for a Yahoo! email account so that I can get the bells and whistles. I logged in today and have just a ton of these "mail delivery failed" messages, as if I sent email to the wrong address. I opened them and they are all totally different, except for the first paragraph that explains the message could not be delivered. It looks like someone is using my email address to send spam and I don't know how to fix the problem. Here is a sample of one of the messages:

Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es)
failed:

postmaster@tajnet.ru


------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------

Return-path: <erleichda1@yahoo.com>
