Based upon this statement
Five days ago, I began receiving email failure notices when attempts where made to send outgoing email on that old incoming only email address. These failed outgoings where being sent to people I didn't know and had never received email from.

I would summize that your old ISP has a virus, and is sending everyone who ever sent or received an email, these messages on each of their accounts. If you ran an up-to-date virus scan; the chances are that the fault is not with you.

However, one question remains .... "are you on broadband?", and if so, "Are you using a Router?"

I have indicated this in the past, and will do so again for your benefit. One cannot over-emphasize the importance of purchasing a $30 Router from Wal-Mart if you are using Broad band.
