I think I may have opened a malware email which then sent something to my entire AOL address book...

The addy that showed in the mailbox window only had MAILER-DAEMON... visable in the addy box. And I couldn't see, until I opened the email, that it was sent from an the Internet, and the full addy was:
MAILER-DAEMON@wllqa.myall.net.

And that the transcript says it was mailed tomorrow morning...

...That '.myall' is making me nervous...

So how do I warn the people in my address book not to open any email that seems to be coming from me, without sending them an email?

How do I stop this?

*just this close to biting my fingernails*

No, you're fine.

myall.net is a valid email address. Mailer-Daemon is the postmaster for that domain.

If you could copy the text and headers from that email into a comment, I can tell you what it's about.

In the case of malware attack, you would have to open an attachment to said email in order to execute a virus on your system.
