Anyone else getting 1,400 of these an hour? It all seemed to begin around noon today. Basically, false "delivery failure" reports, most indicating that my infected computer is running a hidden proxy server for spammers. They all seem to have Windows viruses attached, which is wasting a lot of bandwidth. And, no, the message below did *not* come from "The matusiak.org support team."

Dear user dave @ matusiak.org,

Your account was used to send a large amount of spam messages during the recent week.
Obviously, your computer was infected and now runs a hidden proxy server.

We recommend that you follow the instructions in order to keep your computer safe.

Have a nice day,
The matusiak.org support team.
