I do not use outlook as a mail client.
I use a web-based mail service only.
I am getting fewer of these this week than last.
It was 2 0r 3 a day last week, only 2 or 3 total this week.
Some are messages with infected attachements.
Some are 'send' errors from various postmasters
rejecting mail that was spoofed w/ me as the sender.
I suspect somebody w/ the virus has my email address in their address book.
I tried warning my contacts, but most of them are not very computer savy,
and most of them just respond w/ a ?huh?.

If you check the headers, you can find the ip address it came from (it will be the ip address in the Received From: line added by the first mail server it hit at your ISP - everything before that is a lie). You can take that and go to www.dnsstuff.com to find out which ISP owns that address. Forward it to abuse@ that ISP. They can check their logs and find out who it's coming from.
