Default What the hell is this? (in layman's terms if possible?!)

Hi.


This is the qmail program

I'm sorry I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses:

xxx address

Am I posting in the right place? This thing is basically filling up my
hotmail account.

Is there anything I can do? Solutions would include switching to
another email provider. :-)

ED> Am I posting in the right place?

No. This discussion forum is for "qmail". The message that you are seeing is
the "W32/Swen.A@mm" Microsoft Worm impersonating "qmail" very badly.

That, my dear friend, is the Swen mail worm.
