If your ISP has a web mail interface, it can be used to screen mail too.My ISP does, but you have to log in to one account at a time, whereas this will let you view messages from all accounts on one screen, and apply rules or blocks quickly.

I've also been getting a bunch on "Mail Undeliverable" messages with those titles. My computer must be sending out spam.
Not necessarily ... the worm spoofs the 'From:' header.
I've been getting the same emails in my inbox, supposedly showing that I used Microsoft Look Out to spread the worm, and the last time I ran a Gates machine was a few weeks ago.

I ran stinger - so far, it looks like my box is clean, but two others on the network were infected.
