hacked wanadoo / freeserve email account
Recently i've been getting a spate of failed delivery emails from people I never sent emails to.
Seems someone is sending email with the FROM line using my freeserve email address.
Its not a major problem right now, but I've had a friend explain the same problem with his freeserve account
Is this a KNOWN problem recently with Freeserve / Wandaoo / Orange ?
There doesn't appear to be anyway to change my password either.

Are you sure you don't have any virii/malware on your system? These have a horrible habit of sending mail after mail from your account.
Not teaching you to suck eggs, but you could try running either Kaspersky or even TrendMicro software just to check. Trendmicro even do a downloadable tool that scans your system without having to install....

Some spammers send their messages with the from address as a valid address from their spam list. This means that if they dont hit a valid target, you get the spam back, it also fools some simple spam checkers into thinking its from a legit system/address.
Just ignore it/file it in the deleted box.
