As the not quite so proud owner of a hotmail email account, I have recently noticed a new type of spam scam. Because hotmail is smtp based it appears that one particular spamer is using the hotmail smtp servers to "send" email from my account OR simply forges headers. These emails which appear to be from my account are send (with the add inclosed) to a non existant email address, which causes the message, with add, to be bounced back to me.
Has anyone else seen this going on?
