I stupidly clicked on a .zip attachment in my mail program and now Im bombarded daily with undeliverable mail returns that i never sent. one vender called me to ask why i sent him a virus .
I thought these virus' were pc exclusive, obviously there not. Anyone know how to kill it.????

10.3.4 mail virus(?)
 
nah, I doubt you have a virus. Probably the guy who said you have a virus has the virus and it's sending mail out as you. PC viruses can take email addresses in the address book and spoof their address as the sent address.

They're emails sent from random infected computers on the internet spoofing your @mac.com email address. When delivery fails, it returns it to the 'sender', or who it thinks the sender is, you.
