Oh dear...

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*

Date: 2009-01-28 08:01 am (UTC)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.
