said by DrPleaser:Well I figured out the problem and it wasn't backscatter.
Somehow, hackers got access to my account password and were sending out emails from god knows where.
Of course, videotron couldn't tell me what was happening, other than saying "it's not us, maybe there's a virus on the computer." They couldn't tell me where the emails were coming from either. They didn't even suggest changing my password.
I called in, had them change my password and haven't had a return spam email since
if this is really the case, please check your computer...
I've seen other persons with the same problem in the past and nearly every computer was infected with some sort of hidden trojan or virus that was stealing all username/password.
