is it possible that my Yahoo mail address was hijacked? In the last few days, I'm getting messages back in my inbox about "mail delivery failure" with messages I have never sent. Just a few, mind you, but wondering if a web-based email system could be so easily compromised? I changed my password yesterday, but I'm still curious. anyone heard about this? or know what to do about it?

They are fake returns not real ones but they are real e-mails that almost always contain a virus. I use Hotmail which will rip the attchement right out of these junk e-mails but I am not sure if Yahoo does or not.

Regardless I would just delete them and not worry about it.

quick question if anyone can help me, my friends have been sending me e-mail to the correct address in which i have used other computers and seen for myself and they are not coming to my cpu, but yet and still someone is answering them in reply, as well as i have been getting mail saying thank you for your recent account and i have set no accounts with anyone. i have changed my password 4 times and it still does the same which i guess is no matter i am about to change my os anyhow and start over with everything, but the question i have is do you think my yahoo was hijacked and for future how could i stop this from happening again??
