every time i open up my email with outlook express, it always has mail in
it from postmaster, delivery system, network email delivery, to name a few
that says my message has been returned and could not be delivered to one or
more of the following destinations. The problem here is that I am not
sending any of these returned emails. But they keep on coming day after day.
I don't know how to resolve this. Any suggestions? thanks

Sounds like you've got the "Swen " worm. I had it and am still getting those
return postmaster emails.

I did get rid of it. I downloaded a Virus checker called "Stinger"(it's
free) and it tracks down a whole great big list of worms and viruses. Won't
hurt to run it, better safe than sorry. It worked for me.

You might want to make sure your antivirus
software has the latest definitions and run a virus scan as this sounds as
though it might be the Swen Virus:
