[PCTECH] Some one is spoofing my email

[Jim Essinger <esinger@xxxxxxxx>]

Looking for any ideas.  Some one is spoofing my email address as the return 
for a BUNCH of spam.  I am getting inundated with returns for spam that I 
have not originated.  Is there a way (short of email address  change) to 
find and stop these creeps?  Is there some entity that I can report them 
too that will help me stop this form of identity theft?

I have scanned my pc for virus presence - and found nothing.  I am behind a 
fire wall both here and at home,  and I see not traffic coming from me, so 
I don't think that my PC has been hijacked.  My ISP requires my password to 
use the smtp outgoing server, and I have changed my password for my email, 
so I don't think they are bouncing anything off my ISP outgoing server.

Any other steps you can think of that I can take to protect myself?

Thanks in advance!
