Last year, I had somebody using my email address ( company address ) send
out SPAM emails .... on "my behalf"
I found out later on this list that it was the free script I was using (
created by "Matt" ) - it's a free form script.......... it turns out
his script had a opening in it, and people could get into this form, change
something and then use MY address to send out THEIR SPAM,

I had many angry people email me before I even knew it was happening.....
something to do with a cgi-bin something or other..... before this happened
the only bin I knew about were the bulk bins at the grocery store.

Anyway is that what perhaps happened to you ? .... .they got into your form
script perhaps ?

Mark.
