That "Not read:" caught also my eye but I never thought it is a "not read receipt" my outlook is sending for spam I did not read. Amazing! That really blows my mind... Wow thanks Trevor.

It do look like the mails are actually sent from my computer using outlook (the IPnumber and computer name are correct). I usually use my webmail(squirrel mail) but I had outlook running for ten minutes this morning. During this time I got 10 mailerdaemon returns from variuos places with a spam-like mail being sent from my computer. Scanned the computer with Nod32 and found nothing. Used ThreatExperts memory scanner and found nothing as well. Strange behavior... I’m having the same problem as well.

In that case it could either indicate a hacked gmail account (hmm the PW is just of medium strength) or it is a general gmail exploit.

I'm having the same problem. I was starting to get a bunch of returned mail in my outlook inbox (through gmail) and thought that it was just normal spams. But then I looked in my outbox and there were all the spams that returned. I don't know why my outlook is sending off spams! I'm quite careful about what I install on my PC. I also checked with my anti-virus and nothing there. Anyone knows what it could be? I hate spam. Hello. I’m having the same problem.

Anyone knows what it could be? I hate spam.
